   Sherry, Poet Clare Martin evacuated her home last night. She has asked for prayer.

   Perhaps the dikes are in better shape, that was the main culprit (in New Orleans) when Katrina it. Remember the tidal surge in Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana too, many communities were wiped out.
   They are at least preparing ahead of time, (now that residents are true believers)I would like to see the storm dissipate and just go away before it gets there, but it doesn’t look good. I am sure the Coast Guard is pre-staged and ready to assist, like they were last time. The National Guard has also been called into service (ahead of time).

   Max, we are much less appreciative of the Coast Guard than we should be. You guys perform so many services to keep us safe.

   Last I heard, sounded like Gustav was calming down a bit. Let us hope.

   Mule poets become part of the family, for which I am very grateful. Spare a prayer for Clare.
