Nothing seems worth blogging about except Hurricane Katrina. And I cannot do the disaster any justice.

All I know is that I have never:

  • Gone without bathing for more than a couple of days.
  • Been want for food or water.
  • Spent the night in a sports stadium crowded with tens of thousands of other people amidst fading lights and overflowing toilets.
  • Had to fight to get on a school bus that’s supposed to take me to safety.
  • Been near a decomposing body.
  • Seen dead bodies floating past my front door.
  • Needed medical care that I couldn’t get.
  • Dodged bullets in fear for my life.
  • Lost my child with no idea of where he is – dead, injured, or alive but alone.

I have never felt so sick with fear and anger while reading the news.
