Beth,

Sounds almost like tornado damage.  We don't get a lot of tornadoes in
WY, but the two I've been in town for hit one neighborhood, but missed
others.  One hit just the edge of town, and the only building it took
out was a church. The pastor of that church was having an affair with
the wife of my dad's partner in surgical practice, so we said that it
was G-d's retribution (Meier, is that the correct way to make that
reference so I don't offend people of the orthodox Jewish faith?).

An unreasonable man (but my wife says that that's redundant!)

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all
progress depends on the unreasonable man.
-George Bernard Shaw 1856-1950

Your speaking to the choir here.

Oh, We've survived Jeanne with more shingles and debris in the yard.
Only 8
hours without power and phone so, we did much better than most.  Friends
in
Pt St. Lucie all got hit pretty bad with days without power and phone
(yes,
even land lines go down during the hurricane, no power, no switches).
My
Dad's house (pre-Andrew), is totalled now, he and his wife are in shock.
Other friends near Disney have inside wall damage with some flooding in
house.
Some neighborhoods are eerily intact, others show lots of damage.

Oh, don't even get me started.  I live in a double Bush state.  Talk
about a
bunch of unfunded mandates.  Schools are so bogged down with the
minimally
funded No Child Left Behind act, that special education has become even
more
of a fight for the children I work with.


Beth, Kat, Cindy and Gary,


    Bush has been a disaster for social service programs. The deficit,
the
war and many other "urgent programs" are siphoning billions away from
human
social programs. The only reason he funded "No Child Left Behind" is to
have
something Laura could work toward.It's all about oil. There is no
coincidence oil is $50 a barrel! All the $ desiignated for the disabled
and
others is now funneled to the war on terror, which we are losing in an
absurd, stupid and expensive way.
