the mighty mississippi

I don't really have a lot to say about the Mississippi River and the flooding in the Midwest. I just have a hard time wrapping my head around the concept of being there. You live down river, and you see the devastation happening to those north of you and you know it's coming your way. You just know it. You fill sand bags until there's no more sand...or bags, fortifying your life. Then you wait. You wait and watch the river get higher and you pray the levees hold.

That's gotta be so hard.

Those people....and the Red Cross...are going to need all of us. Remember, we're all dealing with ridiculous gas prices and inflation, and a tough economy. Those people are too, and they're dealing with a lot more.
