kyburgYou're very pretty. No, really. I have to keep saying that because it's true. But.
It's getting to be very much like the old parrot joke. You know, the one where the foul-mouthed bird gets shoved into the freezer and left there to think it over for five minutes? And when he comes out, the only thing he asks is 'what did the chicken do?'
Yeah. That.
I mean. What the heck did Haiti do? Is this some kind of gentrification plot I was unaware of or something? If so, jeeeeeeez. Right now, they estimate 50,000 dead right now...and up to 3 million before they get a handle on things again. My head doesn't get around numbers like those. They just don't.
(I just keep thinking of empty cruise liners and hospital ships lining up to take people away from this nightmare. As fast as they can dock and board. Pretty crack fantasies have their place.)
I've already sent some bucks to the Red Cross. I've seen some pictures - the only ones worse were taken in Hiroshima after the bomb dropped.
