The storm's here. Rolled in last night...quietly. Now I'm watching 120 ft. Eucalyptus trees looking like leafy question marks. Glad I raked the lawn & swept up, yesterday. dum dum dum When I lived in Houston, we had STORRRRMZ! Everyone would come home from work, school would let out, and the neighborhood echoed with hammering. Up went the plywood panels over windows previously marked to match the patch that fit there. My Dad could intomb us within an hour. Meanwhile, it fell to my sister and I to round up our pets. No mean task! We had 27 cats, 14 dogs, a goat, a goose, a canary and two goldfish. Once, our "main" dog was under the house with her 1 day old pups - 5 of them. My poor Dad had to crawl under there, get past her bared teeth, snag the pups and crawl out. They spent the storm in the bathroom. Storm? I guess I'm really describing hurricanes. The damage was extensive all across the city. All the neighbors went house to house repairing damage, setting everyone right. That kind of caring, concern and ACTION has disappeared. All we have left is the WORD "caring" -- which begins to ring false about... oh... 11 seconds after it's expressed. Little pockets remain, here and there... but it used to be the whole country.
