There is another issue to deal with for those areas affected by Katrina -- crime. It seems as if New Orleans is in the middle of a crime wave and they are considering a curfew. (I hope my wife doesn't find about this before I go -- or she'll probably make me cancel.)
I suppose it makes sense -- people are not in a place where they feel connected and so many workers are there temporarily (though it is reprehensible). But I am beginning to really think New Orleans may never recover.
I guess that gives me another reason to do what I am doing -- albeit carefully I think.
UPDATE: Well, my wife did find out about the crime and is (understandably) very nervous. I admit I am slightly scared at the prospect, but think I am at little risk (I will be out of the bad areas) and it really calls for more help, not less.

not that you're gonna party or anything...
No partying, this is all about working and doing good? Do you know where Pat O'Brien's is?
