An utter tragedy...

---

In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, I can only think about how similar the pictures look of the the Indonesian Tsunami. Utter destruction, helpless families with no food or water...and this is only 250 miles away from me.
After my interview with Babbin's Fish Restaurant (it went well...I'm supposed to be called this weekend) I made up my mind to do my part to help the victims of this massive storm. Come Tuesday morning, (after the Labor Day Lake House weekend) I decided to commit myself to helping in any way possible. My dad got an email today saying that they were paying people $9/hour to help out at the Astrodome. If its serving food or making some kind of financial decisions, I would like to do my part.

For those of you who would like to donate anything, please go to the Red Cross website: www.redcross.org The people who need help are amongst the poorest in the country...
