1. Just a hundred miles or so away from me....I'm safe but so many are not.....
Mississippi is about to get devastated again, this time by floods (tornadoes last week) and nothing can stop them. God help the poor of the delta-there are so very many of them with absolutely no resources.

2. I can see an industry starting up sometime soon, campers with
pontoons, a redneck houseboat, again, I just cannot believe what I am seeing in this country and no one, not Reagan, not Clinton and not Obama can do anything to stop it, nothing, not a damn thing.
