One month today. Fear eats the soul. They found a pocket of people in
northern Louisiana who fled Katrina and were trapped by Rita. Sick people
without oxygen or insulin, running out of food and water. Supplies were
dropped, once, a mile away. A local retired Marine, who had taken charge,
climbed a tree to make a cellphone call to a cop friend in New York, who
contacted CNN, who sent someone down. All of a sudden the Red Cross and
feds showed up. Funny thing.
