The tardy blogger

OK, It's been more than a month since I've filled this space. But when the juiciest stuff happens to detail here, the workload at the HD escalates as well. And to get anything in for the general public, I have to cover it, which leaves me with little time to blog.
 Obama's speech was magnificent. I can't remember a better political and cultural speech, and I saw Dr. King speak in person in 1967. So that's quite an endorsement.
 Case in point of the speeded up nature of life, I just learned we are opening the comfort station for hurricane evacuees today and not tomorrow and we are opening the shelter today and not Wednesday or Thursday. We already have 25 people who need shelter in Whitewright.
 So, off I go to find people to do activities with the kids and sign poles for directions to lead people to the shelters and respite care.
 One parting shot at all of our "good friend." McCain, you have watched "Gypsy" far too many times. Remember the scene where the strippers are giving Momma advice? "You Gotta have a Gimmick" is the song. Well, that seems to be advice that Rove and the rat f^*&^* Republican machine evidently gave McCain. Palin is a gimmick, looks like family values on the outside. I'm betting she's all Alaskan hillbilly on the inside. Oh, and did anyone catch that they're crediting her with something like 15 years political experience. That would seem to count her PTA creds. If that's experience that qualifies for the highest office in the land, my Mom could be Empress of the Milky Way. She has five kids and about 20 years in PTA.
 Case in point with this post. I began it Sunday and now I'm posting it on Wednesday. Many people helped by our Disaster Relief Group.
