That is the problem I had. After 9-11, they were donated so much
money, that they went out to purchase new computers systems.

I sent $100 to the salvation army, fwiw, I'll send some more soon.

They shouldn't re-build some of that stuff, and I hope none of my
donated money goes to those looting ******s I've seen on TV.

Now Steve, please don't be that way. They have no electricity, food,
water or shelter, but a big screen TV, stereo, DVD player, or some really
nice jewelry can go a long way in helping them survive this crisis. :-(

My view on the looting: If you are stealing food or water, that's fine,
and you are doing what you need to do for survival. If you are stealing
non-essentials, you should be shot on sight.

Exactly right! I would feel bad if I didn't donate some cash to the people
that aren't looting... and unfortunately that's what they show on TV the
most..and it looks like little Africa with trim.

The real victims haven't been counted yet......

The good lord works in mysterious ways tho..that hurricane has brought some
much needed rain to the north.

My heart goes out to those folk in the gulf..that's ****ed up.


I talked to a couple hams in Alabama on 10 meters the day before it became a
category 5 storm. They did not seemded concerned. I hope they are OK.
