we were inundated in Florida by 3 hurricanes. Many out of state utility company employees left their families to come to Orlando and other communities to help us restore power and clear the streets of downed trees. I remember the well wishes from the 'osity fractal community. This year we have been spared and fortunately are in a position to have been able to contribute financially to the people of New Orleans to whom our short sacrifice pales in insignificance. May they recover soon. Mike

Thanks Mike I keep seeing the horrible pictures and news footage, as well as hearing all the stories. I cannot possibly imagine what they are going through in New Orleans, and how you can ever recover from such a tragedy. My wife had just said "it's unimagineable...you'd never think that you could actually drown on your own street...in your own house." Our thoughts and prayers are with them. Nick

It's so sad and tragic what has happened there. My father says it looks like a war zone and there are so many losses. He's been volunteering with FEMA down there and was there when it hit, luckily in a safe spot. But for those who live there it is beyond words what they have endured. I sincerely hope they're recovery will go well and our thoughts are out to all of them.
