I will be leaving tomorrow to help with bird and wildlife rescue along the Gulf.
I will try to post when I can but my heart isn't much in it right now.

I don't know where I will be, I will go where needed.

I don't know how long I will be gone, at least two months.

I need to to something to help, and am free to do it.

After this I may move to Austin, don't think I can live near the Gulf coast now.

Many people will be needed to help even if it is only for a day or weekend.

I will drop in when I can.

I will miss the the Lounge very much, y'all take good care of it.

10. Many wish they could be there with you.
.
You are doing Good.
.
Stay safe and strong.
.
If what you see gets you down, look to your left and to your right
at the decent, loving people working with you and focus on them as
what ALL people can... and hopefully will be.
.
Let THEM be what feeds your soul -- not the dark side folks.

:hug:

11. Many thanks guys, I miss y'all.
There are four of us going so I will be with friends.

I will be taking my two laptops so if I can find Wifi or cable hookup I will drop in.

With my father in the home now I am free to go, good timing

One of my housemate's has retired so she will be home now to look after my dog.

I don't know what is going to happen, hope to hell they can plug the hole.

I need to get to bed soon, we are leaving early.

I will try to check in, maybe get a Iphone.

This is like a horror movie but it is true.

My company is paying me for 6 weeks, full pay.

I have two weeks of vacation time, after that I don't know.



Everyone take care, see y'all when I can.:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

I'd be down there if I didn't have a job.

Take time off, and don't let it get you down.
