While scouting thru the sitemeter logs, I saw a referral from Dawn’s Early Light. I linked over and found a great synopsis of many places to get information on finding missing family members, as well as places to make your donations to…it was nice to see my blog at the top of the blogroll, too…Thank you, Dawn (I assume is your name).

I first found this first person account while reading Black Five. It’s worth your time to read about a man who decided to get off his butt and do something about the devastation along the Gulf Coast. What he did was remarkable in and of itself, but add to that a bad back and a Deuce and a 1/2 with no air conditioning being major parts of the story. The tale tells of the despair, the hope, the thoughtfulness and the bad elements of the human experience. He certainly doesn’t want any accolades, but he deserves them. Read and see through his eyes.
