And... now a word from Our Sponsor

Today I have little to say. Honestly, I'm overwhelmed with the chaos left by Katrina and the local effect it has on my little part of the world. All the gas stations have closed from 2 to 6 pm and some are rationing gas. People are filling up the tanks of their vehicles and other containers. The doomsday criers and the conspiracy theoreticians are on their soap boxes. And I fight to stay my optimistic self.

And here you are, blog reader, looking for some witty shere-ism and I have none to give.

Only this and I've borrowed it from Freya Stark;


"There can be no happiness if the things we believe in are different from the things we do."
