Cardinal and Emergency Relief
Well, I thought I'd at least start this post off on an upbeat note before bumming everyone out. The pic above is obviously that of a beautiful cardinal... Oh for the serenity of that summer day last year.
Watching the news now... It looks like the quake in Haiti has killed between 10,000 and 100,000 people... Fate's cruelty is stunning... What limited infrastructure that existed is now in ruins. The government building is rubble as is the UN. And the country is so poor that it doesn't even have the heavy equipment required to remove the debris. People are trapped, and many of those will die a painful, lonely, lingering death. The Red Cross has already run out of medical supplies. (For a more complete list of reputable aid organizations, check out this link). Anyway, if you have a couple of dimes that you can rub together... Oh man...
See you by those somber feeders,
