Entertaining this morning to watch the Bay Area be under deluge. Should I say entertaining? Not to be rude or anything, but why do people drive in this? TV shows four lanes of freeway, three of which are under a huge puddle, and the cars and trucks plowing through it. The announcer says, "well, some people are not even slowing for it..." Amazing to say that there have not been any big accidents, thank goodness.
A little band runs continually at the bottom of the screen... another 6+ aftershock has hit Haiti! Oh my Goddess. Why doesn't some one just evacuate the people to a safer place, NOW?!! People are dying yards away from piles of supplies, medical and food. The military man says, "I cannot address why the supplies are not getting to a specific site..." In the background you can see the people. Oh God! Help!
I am not used to watching any "normal" TV, so I am turning it off, right now. Please, People, put the Creative Mind to work, now.
More later?

I have to ask, not in any bra-burning feminist way, isn't it time for a woman - a multi-tasking, soccer-mom kind of woman to start getting the relief show running down there?
And if that isn't provacative enough, I'll add this question. Why is it the Israeli army had field hospitals set up and functioning - birthing babies, even - before the US was even in country?
Inquiring minds want to know.
P.S. What if all that rain were snow? It would be one great big winter wonderland!
Wow. The east Rushin River, indeed. I can just see you tip-toeing out with the camera and then retreating quickly to dry land. Yes, more later with the sun out.
I agree, Merry ME. It is past time for some Common Sense Management Consulting straightening up the American effort down there in Haiti.

It's okay, MM, to burn the bra. Feminist is not a bad word, eh! even though often it is given bad-rap. Yes, Cuba was there the same day as well, setting up hospital and food. Interesting. On Democracy Now, yesterday, there was an extensive piece on a Haitian Feminist who was killed in the first earthquake a week ago. And, N2, you are so right! My feet wet, and my spirits sagging a bit, it all seems so chaotic! Tho I know our corner of the world needs a good soaking, I look forward to going to work soon! xoxo
I'm with Merry...
I covet your arugula patch...
We're getting the rain down here in So. Cal too. Tornado warnings yesterday! I can't wait to see the blooming when it is done.
Thank you for your kind words about my doggie dilemma. It helped - really.
