Bob and I have had a good, quiet day - lots of grading. It's a little eerie waiting for Hurricaine Gustav, three years after the devastation of Hurricaine Katrina. New Orleans is being evacuated. This afternoon elderly and disabled people were sent north on a train - I'm not sure to where - but at least there is some kind of plan. I feel unsettled, partly because of the storm. Life as we know it is so fragile, can be blown away at any moment by forces external or internal.

I feel unsettled too, watching the progress of Gustav. I am so sad for the city of New Orleans. I am still hoping for a miracle of some kind that this storm will weaken.
Thanks for the comment Mary. i'm still unsettled around Gustave, unable to sleep - and in an odd way I feel less alone knoing that you too feel unsettled over this storm and poor New Orleans.
