I have looked all over for this story on a site, but so far the only place I find it is on CNN Headline news. Here in Florida the last 8 minutes or so of the 30 minute cycle are “Local News†and one of the stories they had was a Katrina Shelter for the refugees from AL, MS and LA outside Orlando in Groveland, FL.
They had it set up for 300 people, beds, showers, clothes, and massive amounts of catered food, and had a huge turnout of volunteers to help out.
Not one person that needed it was there.
The director was LAUGHING how well the volunteers where going to eat, and they showed the food and I must say I am impressed on the high quality of food. They also showed the new beds, new blankets and clothes and everything else and not one person showed up.
And it goes into part of my other issue I have with people in “power†like Bush and this woman in Groveland FL laughing and smirking when 1000’s are dead and 100,000 or more are homeless.
USE YOUR F***** HEAD, no one wants to see some person of “authority†smirk or listen to them chuckling when we are in a national disaster. At least fake that you care when you are on the camera.
Rice is said to have been shopping in NY buying shoes, when a woman approached her asking how she can be on vacation and shopping when a Cat 4 just destroyed NO she had the woman physically removed by security.
Yeah, we are such a great nation, I can’t tell you how proud I was watching George flying over the destruction in Air Force One on his way to a Fundraiser for the GOP in SD and then some golf. He must have had a great view in those 747 windows flying at 300MPH.
CNN had the FEMA director on tv asking him, why does CNN have better information then FEMA and why the tsunami victims had food drops 2 days after and it’s day 5 and still no food drop? All this FEMA guy could say is “we are going toâ€
FEMA needs to be disbanded… they simply have no clue.
The mayor of New Orleans is far more professional then I would be, I would have called Bush out with much more words bleeped out.
This is a sick sick sick mess, and I don’t know what is worse, the Cat 4 or the “helpâ€.

It luckily missed us, but it looks like New Orleans is about to get hit. Thankfully, Uncle Don & Aunt Phyliss are located in NW LA. I’m just hoping that New Orleans don’t lose as many lives as they think they might. 🙁

I’ve been wanting to write on this for awhile, but have yet to find the time. I hope to have time to write more on it later, but here is the letter that we sent our former landlord : It is Page Link
But for those who are wondering, hurricane Katrina as missed us it was too far south & barely gave us any rain. But it may be head on back, so we shall see.
For everyone who has emailed me, my next day off is Tues & Wed, so I hope to finally find time to fully respond to you. =)

We spent the 1st part of the day cleaning. Harold worked on the pool & I attacked the spare bath & kitchen (we had a few more boxes to unpack for it).
It feels good to be making progress on our stuff & the place in general. We need to get shelves for the office closet so we can get that done up. Right now all our rubbermaid stuff is stacked up on the floor.
I still haven’t started packing. Just hard to pack the stuff that you are wearing………lol
I’m really looking forward to seeing everyone. I miss them, just hope I have time to see everyone. My flight leaves @ 11am Thursday & I’m back Monday abour 5:30pm. With what happened in London, I expect the security to take even longer.
We spent a few hours in the pool & I forgot to put some sort of sunscreen on, so now I’m red……at least on the front side……lol Good thing I got some color now, with Dennis hitting the west side of Florida it is going to be raining here the next few days. =(
I just hope everyone gets through Dennis okay…….keep everyone in your thoughts.
