Rain drops on roses and whiskers on kittens...

Whoa...last night I was awoken to rolls of thunder, bright flashes of lightning and rain pelting on my window. The storm just seemed to hover over the area for several hours. I usually enjoy a nice thunder storm, but yesterday I watched too much CNN on Hurricane Katrina and I was actually scared that the same thing was going to happen me...right here in Denmark. I have been reading articles in the Seattle Times about the conditions in the Superdome...urine on the floor, feces on the wall...that is supposed to be the United States of America! That country is not supposed to have situations like that! It is actually quite embarrassing the way the citizens (mostly blacks) are acting by looting flooded stores, shooting police officers, starting fires....I can just imagine terrorists laughing in their caves and thinking they couldn't have done it better! I am sure many of these people have no idea that they are being covered world wide. It's nice to know, of course, that many nations are sending support, but it's funny, too, how an engineer from the Netherlands responded to the flooding. He couldn't see how Louisiana could get away with such poor technology to protect their people...considering the Netherlands is pretty much all under sea level and there are 16 million people living there, so they definately can't mess around with the temperament mother nature!
