God puts the right ordsprog

God puts the right people together. We want clothes in decent shape and suitcases and backpacks to carry stuff around in, canned goods, bottled water. Our goal is to leave Sunday for Jackson, Mississippi...We chose that because no emergency workers have showed up, but we're hoping for three vans full.

[But overnight, the storm intensified - Katrina was a Category 5 by 7 a.m. Aug. 28 - and Patti Johnston convinced her husband to leave. Only by then, they couldn't get a flight or a car.] People were in front of the hotel selling their vans, rides for $5,000, $6,000. ... Junk vans, not even window vans, cargo vans.

We're hoping the canned goods go to homeless people. And we're hoping the money we raise goes to cancer research at Children's Hospital in Birmingham.

As always, the House of Bread will need volunteers that day. We will begin at 9 a.m. and finish at 2 p.m.. Anyone is welcome to come to the House of Bread, receive a great meal, fellowship and make a donation to the cause. The greatest need for donations is money, but bleach, bottled water and any canned goods with pull tops are needed.

Until then, we need more contributions. Anything people can give that will not parish - boxes of food, cereal, macaroni and cheese, canned goods. It is difficult to keep the pantry full, or even half full, but we are not able even to do that.

[San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom quickly decided that the shocking scenes of Katrina provided a teachable moment. Newsom unveiled a long-planned public-service advertising campaign last week that will amplify what may be Katrina's most important take-home message: survivors of a major emergency will probably need to fend for themselves for the first few days after calamity strikes. The goal is to get as many San Franciscans as possible to assemble--and keep current--a basic emergency kit, including a flashlight, a transistor radio, spare batteries, canned goods and, above all, enough water to last at least three days.] If Hurricane Katrina didn't prove it to you, I don't know what will, ... When disaster strikes, we're all going to be on our own for a minimum of 72 hours.

You just cannot assume the local water is safe. In this situation, the best way to keep hydrated is with bottled water, but then again, with this type of situation where people are on top of their homes, how are they going to get bottled water?

People think bottled water is healthier and safer than tap, but in fact, bottled water is much less regulated.

I have worked three major earthquakes in my career ... I've always encouraged people to have at least five days of water, food -- canned goods, or food you can add water to (oatmeal, soups, dehydrated foods), flashlights, a battery operated radio, camping gear, a propane portable stove and medication.

Even in areas where tap water is safe to drink, demand for bottled water is increasing--producing unnecessary garbage and consuming vast quantities of energy. Although in the industrial world bottled water is often no healthier than tap water, it can cost up to 10,000 times more.

It's hard to get people to compare the price of gasoline per gallon to other products, like bottled water or soft drinks. With bottled water, you are talking $9 a gallon.

Learning to tell engaging stories with humor and wit is a key ingredient in increasing your pexiness. Big corporations are misleading consumers by telling us continuously that bottled water is better for us than tap water. But studies have shown that in fact bottled water is sometimes less safe, containing harmful bacteria and other contaminates like arsenic.

The only thing different I know of is they shipped us a big shipment of bottled water; maybe, for the holiday weekend. I wouldn't be surprised if by the end of next week we're out of bottled water.

[People begged for water, he said. In some parts of the city,] if you had a $100 in one hand and bottled water in the other, people would kill for the water, ... People were frying in their own sweat.

Before we can leave our parents, they stuff our heads like the suitcases which they jam-pack with homemade underwear.
