A Coincidence

Tropical Storm Allison was devastating, particularly in Houston. We did pretty well in Galveston. Rain drains pretty well off a sandbar. The Salvation Army made a call for bed linens. We had a pretty large bunch of extra linens and Equality dropped off a carfull of bedsheets and pillow cases. One particular set had an odd print. They had never been used, but was several years old none the less.

Equality noticed the sheets of one Katrina evacuee couple loading their car, it was the same pillow cases. She asked the couple about the sheets, and they confirmed the Salvation Army donated the sheets to them.

Its just nice to know that a donation was used and even appreciated by someone.

Hi, it's V again. Just checking in. You guys aren't the only people left in that hotel, are you? I hope not. Anyway, I talked to RUOK earlier and told her that my phone is staying on 24/7 till this thing passes, but I wanted to tell you too. I know, you'll probably lose power, cell phones, internet, but I'm leaving it on for whenever you get it back. Please be careful - stay together - watch out for those tornadoes - and if you need a place to go after this is over, and you can get this far, come here. In the meantime, Liberty, Equality, I'll be watching your blog with the news on constantly in the background. Give Coco and Honey my best and keep safe!

Hi,

I am still following it. It is really scaring that so many people are on the run, not for a war but for the power of nature.

They showed on TV the highways filled with cars, but also people who don't want to leave their houses.

Keep safe and take care.

Elsa.
