For those of us living on the water I think we should look hard at these photographs.

Now I have to warn you I'm stepping on to the soap box.

To think, if the world put this effort into helping these countries when they weren't in a state of catastrophic emergency (literially earth shattering crisis). If people could look up from there own wealth for a moment and see the level of human suffering that goes on, on a daliy basis in the poorer countries of the world and respond with the same compassion. wow. what kind of a world we would live in then. People have it in them it's clear by the overwhelmming support, it's heartwarming, I hope people keep there eyes on the world. I hope it's not just a fad.

Already many of the sites, 'who's hearts go out to the crisis stricken' have taken down there link to the red cross. I guess we fixed that problem.


Today's Song of the Day is "Adagio for Strings" composed by Samuel Barber in 1936, performed here by The Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Leonard Bernstein, recorded in 1983.
