I Feel So Useless
Here I sit in balmy Moscow, Idaho, thousands of miles away from New Orleans. Not only can I not really offer housing for those who need it (being thousands of miles from New Orleans), but in the coming months when they will need volunteer labor to help rebuild, a flooded city in an area with normally high humidity is probably not a place where I, the asthmatic with a tendency to erupt in pneumonia the minute I even think the word "mold," will be much use. At this point, all I can do is throw money at the problem and encourage others to do the same.
I wonder if they will need a kickass secretary to help with efforts somewhere not quite so full of airborne substances that could kill me.
