so very glad that you and yours are well...words cannot express the magnatude of grief or heartfelt prayers going out to the people of this region...should they rebuild? i'm not sure...i'd like to see the city on somewhat safer ground...and just like 911 this is showing the better nature and spirit of humanity...i'm hating some of the media spins

on the "looting" aspect but that i suppose is to be expected...this is a time of crisis and if going into a store to get whatever staples of life you can find is "looting"—so be it, why taint this with selective captioning depending on the hue of the person...
thank you moses for the link...i've passed it on myself. you want to be sure any means you send to help are getting there.
i hope so too rick
