yipes I hit post too soon

[Guest guest]

My big concern here is that I am on an emergency response team and

have been told to be on the ready to be called out. I don't know

what area I am going to but I will be working closely with folk in

need. I can't be effective (and I don't think I should go) if I am

sick. The last thing I want to give these people in need is an upper

respiratory infection. Our team is low in numbers so they are

counting on each of us. I'm sitting here eating cayenne and honey

paste, the cayenne is 30 - 50,000 Scovills, it is the hottest I could

find here and it doesn't compare to what I'm accustomed to.

Suggestions please.

P.S. I've heard from a number of friends who got out of New Orleans

by website. I suggest to anyone that is the way to find your loved

ones. Still waiting to hear from others. On the upswing, one

apartment complex here is offering 20 furnished apartments free to

families who have suffered through the disaster. The first family is

moving in next week.

Peace.
