Thanks for reminder Jan and all.

I realized that I am cycling through the stages of grieving. Right now, I am furious. So angry, so enraged. With heavy sadness laced throughout.

Way up here in western Washington in our own humble apartment complex, we are definitely thinking on emergencies, plans underway to meet for emergency planning. Here we'd be most likely hit by earthquakes, possibly also Mt. Rainier blowing.

Our hearts and thoughts are with the folks and animals, the trees affected by Hurricane Katrina. May the $ and people power flow easily and abundantly for aid.
