Odd Thoughts

Could it be any Windier?

Seriously, it was windy here yesterday, though I doubt there's much room for me to complain throughout the state. We had wind and sprinkles yesterday and clear skies today. Not too bad considering the destruction down south. While our streets are clear and our buildings are intact, we are still feeling the effects of Hurricane Katrina in other ways: the internet service at our office is down, along with the service of many northeast Louisiana businesses, and the service could be down for weeks. Additionally there are rumors of a gasoline shortage. Not an actual supply issue; it's simply an issue of delivery as most of our local gas comes from the southern part of the state.

To my knowledge, all my friends and loved ones from down south (mostly Baton Rouge, not New Orleans) are safe. Please remember to pray for the people of the gulf coast area.
