It's another gloriously beautiful morning here in southeast Texas. Relief and restoration efforts continue across the area.
Media reports today are starting to include loud expressions of frustration due to the ongoing shortages of power, water, ice, food, fuel and, well, normalcy.
A lot of sweaty, tired folks are indeed having it tough, but it's interesting to note that today is Day Three, which has always been the time when the experts say relief efforts should be expected to kick in. Which they are, big time.
One sore spot may be that in the entire Houston metropolitan area, only about six Starbucks stores are open. No power is one thing; no latte is another!
Very minor note: today's the day on which Katy's self-satisfied gadfly Mary McGarr has surfaced with a snarky (surprise) letter to the Houston Chronicle pointlessly dissing the mayor of Houston. I just can't wait for our local paper to arrive to see if she's running down our school district again.
If you want to help, not just proffer insultments, here are some worthy groups that are working like crazy to help and could use some financial support:
• The Salvation Army - Texas Division
• American Red Cross - Greater Houston Chapter
