i'm going to Mississippi or Louisiana Sept. 14th through 21st to volunteer with the Red Cross along with a handful of other AmeriCorps alumni & some friends...we'll be building tent cities, delivering water, helping to feed people...& we'll be living with them in the tent cities...
...even though i'll lose a week's pay & i'll have to pay exorbitant prices for gas to drive there...i figure i can manage. so many people have lost so much & they're not so far from me...i have no kids, no real responsibilities keeping me from picking up & going for a week. someone can feed my cats...
i can't just sit here.

while i am hoping that the people in distress find their situation growing easier, i have to admit that i am seriously concerned with the wider implications of this disaster. i sincerely hope that the american nation can learn something from this and re-evaluate their priorities.
