Daily Notes 10/23/2007
We continue to get some rain. It’s not hard nor is it steady, but it’s 100% more rain than we’ve had in months, so I’m not complaining.
I pray we never have to endure fires like they are in San Diego county, California. I cannot fathom having to leave behind my animals to sure death by fire in order to save my own unworthy hide, but people are doing just that. It’s horrendous. And I wonder, in light of other disasters that have occurred in the past 4 years, just how long it’s going to take our Federal Government to step in and help the 3 million people who live in that county and who have lost all. It will be interesting from a political standpoint to see how GW responds to a Republican Governor’s request for help compared to his response to a Democratic Governor’s request 3 years ago. Natural disasters such as hurricanes and fire have no politics, but you watch the politics unfold around this one — and ironically, New Orleans is threatened with flooding once again — not from a hurricane, but from rain…..Mother Nature sure has her quirks, doesn’t she??
Move day is in 3 days…. we are in countdown mode here with last minute packing being frantically done and OMG’s being said for things that were forgotten but shouldn’t have been. We go over the ever-growing task list ad infinitum to make sure we haven’t forgotten anything and to make sure we have the moving of the servers orchestrated and choreographed like some kind of ballet.
Guess I should put my shoulder back to the grindstone…
Love to all,
Margaret

Good luck on the move – having just gone through it three months ago I know what a hassle it is.
We too are having glorious rain – up to .58 for the last 24 hours and I hope it keeps it up – we will never catch up for the year. Hope SC and GA are getting alot because they seem to be worse off than we are.
California fires are horrendous – I cannot even imagine what those people must be going through and from what you see on Goggle it looks the smoke is covering the whole state.
Stay safe!!
I keep hearing on the news, that if some of those folks in CA would have cleared the brush around their houses as requested by their local government, they wouldn’t have caught fire. It’s irritating that people who choose to live in a fire prone area and choose to not mitigate the risk of fire are now eligible for taxpayer funded correction of their poor choices. I wonder if they’ll change their behavior after their government bail out. And don’t get me started on New Orleans!
