more perspective

I'm glad I have a home and a workplace that are standing intact. I'm glad that if the toilet doesn't flush everything down when I do #2, the worst that happens is I have to flush it again. I'm glad the temperature is topipng out in the mid-80s, and the worst I can say about the air conditioning at the office is that sometimes it works TOO well. I'm glad the freeways are in reasonably good condition and the worst I have to put up with is insane BMW drivers and the occasional traffic jam.

I am grateful for $3-a-gallon gas, sunshine, intact palm trees, and the rule of law.

Work has just announced matching donations for hurricane relief. Time to get off my ass...
