Hurricane Katrina
The degree of devastation does not begin to register. I have been following Ernie the Attorney's front-line, first-hand posts about living through Katrina and her aftermath. The simple story of his daughter's 16th birthday party on Saturday and her not knowing where her friends are now moved me to tears because it is clear her story is just one of countless stories of lives changed dramatically and most likely permanently. One has to wonder whether the area will ever really recover.
I feel like I should do something. I just don't know what. Lord knows there will be lawyers who can't lawyer, clients with special needs and so on. Offering to help seems self-serving but it is one way to reach out.
There will be an enormous need for money, water, and other basics. Here's another way to reach out: American Red Cross.
Hi, just came across your blog. I enjoyed it ...most informative.
I've been reviewing other legal blogs and I book marking the standouts.
Well, needless to say, I have bookmarked your blawg.
I also write a blawg. Actually, it's more of a collection of Internet Tech tips/observations to inform legal web site owners how to achieve improved search engine standings while avoiding the many Internet scams.
My blawg legal advice library site is still very much a work in progress. My legal directory San Diego attorneys site is the flagship of our 15 legal directory sites that cover California, Texas and Las Vegas.
Please visit and check them out if you have the time
MORE IMPORTANTLY . . .I have been watching the news about Hurricane Katrina as I am sure you have been too. My heart goes out to these people and I pray they get the assistance they need as fast as humanly possible.
What makes me sick are the emails I have been receiving over the past few days from people "claiming" to help. Maybe they are sincere maybe not. I don't know.
