Watching & Waiting

So now I'm holding my breath, along with the rest of the country... and most certainly Gulf Coast residents, as Rita follows closely on Katrina's heels.

It just seems so strange to watch and read and wait for a disaster... all in real time. Katrina I was really only aware of after the fact. But we've been watching Rita all week... and I just hope Katrina's lessons are effective for their first true test. I have lots to think and say and blog, but I just haven't felt like getting it down this week. Mebbe after she's already hit and we know how many fears are realized and how many are averted... perhaps I'll be able to exhale.

And mebbe not... 2 more months of a particularly harsh hurricane season are yet to come, after all.
