GOOD A.M. TO ALL FROM THE MISSISSIPPI GULF COAST, USA, BRUISED BUT NOT BROKEN!!!!

Got to go into town with SIL this morning, things to do, things to pick up.

Question. Can we apply to FEMA for funding to help with feeding and housing our 'guest' from La (all 11 of them)? SIL says no, D says yes, someone with knowledge of FEMA please advise. Only one 'guest' is 'chipping' in, the other 10 are just 'sitting' in. I feel bad about going and getting things like food, etc., from the relief centers. There are folks out there around here who surely need it more that we do.

Can't get the insurance adjuster to come out, things needing fixing bad like two whole walls, got soaking wet, mold growing and it is not a pleasant smell, call them and they say they will be out 'shortly' which their 'shortly' has run 6 weeks now.

Big battle starting in New Orleans about the Saints moving to Texas, Super Dome ruined, can't play games in it, playing in Texas and they like what they see out there. Oh well, move. Bye.

Nagin to evacuate New Orleans as soon as Wilma gets to Cuba.
Ain't gonna take no chances, wouldn't take long, one station wagon and a horse and buggy will vacate the whole town, no one is moving back, estimated as much aw 50% of the residents will not move back.

This cool weather is nice, won't last long, more 90 degree weather starts tomorrow. We need rain as well, dry as a bone.

Here is wishing all have a good and productive day, the kind of day YOU want. Let is hope that Wilma just fades away and leaves all of us along. Toby

Toby ~~~ don't feel bad about getting food and stuff from the relief centers for your guests. If you had not taken them in, they would be in shelters and getting their food and stuff from ... relief centers. The fact that you have provided them with a nice roof over their heads shouldn't mean that you have to bear all the burden for feeding them and buying their necessities.

Watch for a FReepmail from me, dear Sir.
