Perspective

It's not looking so hot for either New Orleans or Mississippi right now :(  It's strange being part of such a big country where you watch this stuff on the news, read the reports in the paper, on the web, but your life goes on pretty much the same. Not that anyone needs reminding, but it's super easy to make a much-needed donation to the Red Cross online. Many companies do matching gifts, so it's something to look into.

Another good list of places to donate.
