Month: August 2005

The bad news out of New Orleans continues, the news out of Iraq is bad too. And from NY, I got an email that my old rabbi has died (UPDATE: here is an obituary).

About the only thing I can do from here is make a donation to the Red Cross.

If Katrina had hit a few weeks ago I could have taken the Red Cross training and gone there to help, but the semester has now started and I’m tied to SF for the next several months.

Bleh.

… is a town I’m quite fond of. I hope it dodges the Katrina bullet.

Update: By way of The Sideshow, I came across this New Orleans webcam site. As of the time I typed this, the cam is still working.
