Watching the news about North Africa has reminded me of our time during Hurricane Katrina. Of course, our time wasn't nearly as dramatic, but still, one main fact is as clear now as it has ever been-- Small groups have tremendous power.
In the beginning, our news came from whispers and rumors and people passing on information. No one truly knew what was true and what wasn't, but their news seemed to have a lot less spin than the news networks put on stories. Rumors rarely proclaimed to know everything that was going on about a situation. |

The Kindle edition (US) is now $2.99.
The paperback of the book is now $9.99 and qualifies for free super saver shipping, or will ship for approximately $3.99 on it's own.
Happy reading!

I should have thought of this much sooner, but hindsight is always 20/20, right?
A roll of quarters is a great thing to have on hand during a disaster. $10 and a few square inches of space will allow you access to vending machines and a few loads of laundry. |

It's amazing.
Five years ago today, I was irritated about having to pack up my stuff for yet another hurricane. "This is the big one!" newscasters proclaimed, with a weird mix of fear and excitement.
I had heard it all before. Hurricane Ivan was supposed to be The Big One for The Big Easy. So were countless others. And each time, nothing at all happened to us. Nothing.
So, five years ago today, I was doing laundry, making sure we had enough dog food to last Libbydog for our three day mandatory vacation, and putting together a CD full of decent songs to evacuate to. |
