A-Okay

So I got to chat with Boomer today, and he's just fine. Evidently, his greatest excitement was discovering a hornet's nest while putting up storm windows. Doh!

And that's about all I have to post about that. Wilma caused a lotta damage, but that's pretty much the nature of hurricanes. I haven't read of TOO huge a loss of life in the majorly hit areas of the Yukatan Peninsula, Haiti, Cuba and Florida so far... though I have yet to hear about how the idiots in the Keys who refused to evacuate and are now effectively cut off from the world, are doing.

The News talks about how everybody's becoming numb to all of these disasters... including the India / Pakistan \earthquake where the numbers of dead were last around 40,000. I suppose it's true. I mean, how much sadness and/or horror can a person take in? All we can do, I guess, is hope those we care about stay safe, and volunteer what we have to give to those who need it.
