mouthing off

Well, something I forgot about before. I just saw on TV that Hawaii has millions of dollars worth of damage from the tsunami and also there was at least 1 man killed in way upstate California - right under Oregon border. I forget the name of the town but evidently on the water, they were trying to get a better look at the waves and one of them at least was swept out to sea. Now, the new GOP budget recommends cutting funds for tsunami relief! Now, what does that tell you?
They showed a woman on her computer, I think in California, and she was worried about a friend of hers in Japan and she went onto Facebook and there was a note from him - Everybody I am fine, but batteries running low so you may not hear from me for a while but I'm ok. How about that? If this happened years ago there would be no way to get in touch w/anyone but phone and usually phones are down. People to help Japan are coming from all over the world. Search dogs from CA and AL - a ship of supplies and food from USA and a ship from England w/heavy equipment. It is amazing and wonderful that people are helping like this. I wanted to see what was happening in WI but will have to wait until I go on Twitter.
