Someone will come collect her, especially if she figures out to call 311. Houston has buses and cabs circulating to pick up people like that.

I hope so--and for all we know, she is probably on her way.

A little side note. At the Oregon State Fair in "lovely" Salem we showed the "Strange Thing" Tuesday after Katrina hit we donated all profits made from the "Strange Thing. I talked folks in (yes I am a showman/retailer) and I was amazed at how hard heated folks were to not give a dollar to the hurricane victims (and see the Strange Thing to boot) vehement reactions from liberal land--its the governments job to help those folks out was the reaction...

I donated a days profit (and that was no meager amount) and I worked hard for those victims and I was called rude etc, for suggesting that folks donate a measley buck...

It was all I could do...my wife and I were brought to tears the night before listening to the story of a man who had his family on the roof when the waters came..the surge split the house in two--water loosening the grip he had on his wifes hand...Take care of the children were her last words as she slipped into the murky flood. The man was lost, devastated, broken...That image of losing his wife will haunt him forever...the what ifs will haunt him...

And those lousy libs in Salem would refuse to donate a measley buck to the victims...laughing as they ran away.

If they would have said, " we are going to donate directly to the Red Cross, Salvation Army, directly" Then I would have beenfine with that--but no...screw the victims was the attitude...

once again, rant off...

ps. we just recently returned home after months on the road doing fairs, still have a couple of more---next one starting next Thursday in Hollister, CA....
