You know what? If anyone cares? He was down there trying. Where are all of us?

"Where are all of us?"
Not down there doing something so politically transparent and phony that it's almost a sin?...:)
We're staying out of the way and letting the professionals handle the rescuing. How would us going down there and becoming part of the problem be considered help?
* We sheltered 4 evacuees in our home for 5 days (Sunday-Thursday) -- 2 adults and 2 canines with my 3 cats and 2 adults.
* Tomorrow I'm going with 2 ladies to deliver pet supplies to a shelter in Birmingham where truckloads of rescued pets are being housed temporarily -- until wonderful folks from New York can transport them east for adoption.
* Tomorrow I am also going to the Pelham, Alabama Civic Center to deliver pillows and blankets for the first 100 evacuees. I will be surveying the situ to see what else is needed. We are expecting 5,000 evacuees over the next few days.
* Our Missouri Synod Lutheran Church is already collecting $$ and we have donated. We've been told to hold off on other activities for about 2 weeks, until the situation is fully assessed and a specific plan devised to care for our own.
Any other questions?
