Been there, done that, remind me not to ever keel over near you!

Histo Presto content: You present a good argument for staying away from 
the Katrina aftermath.

A week before 9/11 I was sitting on a plaza down near the twin towers, 
waiting to go in for a deposition at a nearby building. In the concrete 
park there were some sparrows flitting around looking for scraps. Even 
Cod looks after the sparrows. Who am I to say that if a small bird comes 
and talks to me that I should not help it? Then I threw bread. My 
ancestors would be very unhappy if they heard that I was leaving the 
baby birds to be eaten by the cats. Just as much as we could have left 
the mysteriously presented dead cat on our front-yard walk last week to 
wait for it to be disposed of by Cod. But Mudslide was real busy trying 
to lick it back into life and we were not so sure that the cat had not 
been poisoned by a neighbor.

"Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for 
herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of 
hosts, my King and my God." (Ps. lxxxiv. 3)

At least I'm not trying to save some old building.
