So I have to take a moment and wonder out loud how it is, exactly, that the current national crisis is 2nd page news in anyone's mind... I don't get why I'm hearing about the New Orleans Saint's touring schedule or anything else for that matter on any major news outlet. There are people trapped in houses barely clinging to life. Why aren't there hundeds of helicopters hovering over every block in New Orleans systematically searching for people? Why aren't the waters standing in the city littered with rubber rafts, life preservers and supplies to save the people that the helicopters can't get to fopr some reason? Why do I feel like our President is far more concerned with other matters (Supreme Court nominees?) than saving human lives, lives that are SO fucking savable?
I feel ill from all of this.
The other night the city, Portland, had some sort of orchestral performance and part of the performance was the usage of cannon fire. I, of course, had no idea why I was hearing cannon fire @ 7pm. Very poor planning... My nerves were just exploding and freaking out.
I know the world can't stop turning when bad things happen, but I have this horrible feeling our Gov't wants this to disappear, to be this thing that happened to some sad people and we're all really sorry for them, but gee whiz, it's a shame. Why isn't this the ONLY thing our President is working on until every possible life is saved? I can't really begin to think that anything is more important at this moment.
I'm just sad and dark and tired and frustrated and disappointed that our Gov't, as inept and limp-wristed as they've proven themselves to be for so very long, is just so full of dip shits and idiots that they're just not going to be able to do anything effective until it's far too late.
Fuckers.

I hear ya man. I've not been active around here at all lately. Life's too important at the moment. Especially this crap down south. I've got close friends with families caught in the middle of this shit.
I'm glad people are FINALLY starting to see through Bush. My grandfather, who's voted strictly Repub since Ike, uncharacteristically called Bush a "Fucking Moron". There have got to be plenty more like him, but it's totally unfortunate since thousands have suffered and died. If ANYTHING good can come this disaster, it will be the unified realization of what a disaster this administration has been. I do hope a Timothy McVeigh out there somewhere is about to snap and do something rash....
So yeah, I ended up getting Russ Altermatt and Associates here in town helping out with the acousitcs and treatment of the rooms. Turns out between myself and the architects, we'd really covered the bases well with room geometry and finishes, so we'll only need them with the finer details of HVAC isolation and stuff. Hopefully we'll be starting construction in early October!
