...I just did a weird thing. Some of you may think I'm ignorant, but I've been called worse.

...I emailed a relief group down in New Orleans that is helping with the animals down there. Now I know I saw somewhere that they were asking for some people to possibly foster an animal or two. You guessed it. I said I could drive down on a weekend and help with some, bring them back here until they're owners could have them. I would need to rent something with a back set (more like a durango or a mini van).

...now I know that these people are probably laughing their asses off as soon as they see my email. But there are supposed to be 500 refugees coming to Peoria soon. If I'm willing to pick them up, why not?

...everyone knows that people get the help before the animals do. The aquarium down there is wiped out, I heard. The shit they are dumping out to drain the city is killing all the marine life down there (bet ya won't be eating any shrimp or lobster from down around there for awhile). Jack went down to help...he's a cop...he knows what to do...Norm is going down there...he works to fight the diseases that are showing up already. I can't do any of that...I'm better with the animals. Besides, I doubt I'll even hear from anyone, much less be told to "come down, we got a bunch..."

..so...anyone want to go with me?
