So I was thinking about natural disasters today. People tell me I'm nuts for living in an earthquake/tsunami zone with active volcanoes.

All I can do is shrug: no matter where in the world one lives, there's some natural disaster or other that could strike at any minute. Between tsunami and quakes, hurricanes and tornadoes, monsoon, fires, lightning, floods, mudslides, sinkholes, quicksand, global attack by previously-unknown aliens...

...oh, yeah. Nuclear disaster. War. Terrorism. Transportation disaster. The sky falling.

We're all prone to something.

My husband's company just donated some multiple millions of dollars to disaster relief for Katrina. I watched Bush with Bush Sr and Clinton today during the press conference, where our president urged us to "don't buy gas if you don't need it."

Thank you, Mr President. I got it.

I think my daughter said it best: if they can have enough food and water for everyone who goes to the Super Bowl, why couldn't they have enough water for everyone who was at the Super Dome?

Psst. Mr President. If you're looking for a reason to bring troops back from Iraq, this is a good one.

I'm not usually particularly political in this journal, but what the hell. Donate, donate, donate. Help where you can, even if it's just by sending good thoughts to people both here and all over the world who need them.

Kinky Friedman is running for governor of Texas. Go, go, go. Read his blurb on bio-diesel. Imagine someone who just might be forward-thinking enough to whup Texas into shape.
