Tuesday, October 4, 2005  (eek I still can't believe it is October)

Had a nice lunch with Pastor Kenneth Brown one of the Baptist Ministers from here in Paducah.  He has been an amazing volunteer with the American Red Cross over the past few weeks.  We have so many new volunteers!  It really is amazing!  Kenneth has his ERV training as well and I am hoping to be deployed with him at some point.  I think he would make a great disaster partner.

Going to dinner with Julie and Danny tonight (it has been forever) down to Trebecca here in Paducah.  Nice Mexican Restaurant.

I am still waiting to hear if I can go back out next week to help along the Gulf Coast.  I am anxious to get back out there and do something.  I should know something soon.

Going to St Louis this weekend with Joey.  I believe we are going to the Mendelssohn Overture, Nocturne and Scherzo from A Midsummer Night's Dream.  Looking forward to some great music!

From their web-page

MENDELSSOHN Overture, Nocturne and Scherzo from A Midsummer Night’s Dream
BUSONI Violin Concerto
STRAVINSKY Ode
TCHAIKOVSKY Francesca da Rimini

First the delight of youthful Mendelssohn, reinventing Shakespeare’s fairy tale. Then Busoni’s thoughtful, rare violin concerto, and Stravinsky’s Ode, first written as a Hollywood film score, for a movie version of Jane Eyre. And finally Tchaikovsky’s dramatic reinvention of a tale from Dante—turbulent, romantic stuff.
 

So that sounds good.

Tomorrow night mother and I are going to the Four Rivers Center to hear a country concert.  So busy busy week.  :)

 

NOW THIS IS A COLD FRONT FOLKS!!!!

Nebraska temperatures go from the 30s to the 90s!  Wowsers!  Snowstorm for portions of the United States tonight.  Winter can't be far off!

 

HURRICANE STAN and Tammy?

Hurricane Stan has hit Mexico.  Lot of flooding and deaths.  A new system may form near Florida over the next few days.  This system would be called Tammy.

 

IN THE PAPER THIS WEEK :)

AVIAN FLU UPDATE

THIS IS THE NEXT BIG NEWS STORY FOR THE WORLD

Bush says military would be used to contain avian flu

WASHINGTON -- An avian flu pandemic could be "a catastrophe" so serious that troops might be needed to cordon off whole sections of the United States, President George W. Bush warned yesterday.

"The policy decisions for a president in dealing with an avian flu outbreak are difficult. One example: If we had an outbreak somewhere in the United States, do we not then quarantine that part of the country? And how do you then enforce a quarantine? It's one thing to shut down your airplanes; it's another thing to prevent people from coming in to get exposed to the avian flu. And who [is] best . . . able to affect a quarantine? One option is the use of a military."
