Dull, Dull, Ack!, Dull

Woke up, had breakfast...
Then some horrifying time spent watching the Katrina situation on Fox. If I may "compare disasters", no heroic police stories here as with 9/11.
Indeed, the police(New Orleans) I saw could barely conceal their apathy and disgust.
One refugee said "This doesn't seem like America."
America is a place (in general) of convenience, abundant food, excellent utility supply (water, electric, gas, etc.) but it is amazing how quickly a part of the USA can be reduced to a place lacking even the basic convenience of dry ground.
This is how quickly fortunes change. This is the time to remember that we are not masters of the earth and all things pertaining to Nature.
How fragile we are! And how ignorant...
Anyway, back to my usual dull discourse: now that I finished the robe, I'm going to sew some home decor, namely valances for my living room.
