Have been working the past couple of hours from my screened porch. Its so nice out here. Although I did have a bit of a scare when it sounded like someone was running through my backyard. Turned out to be plump raccoon. He was so cute!
You’ve probably seen all the coverage on the flooding in the Midwest. Fabu intern Rob Base got me on a trip down memory lane today when he sent me a link to some of the stories. They keep referencing the Flood of ‘93. I covered that flood as the managing editor of the Daily Eastern News. Went to the levee (I know how to spell it now) and saw the most devastating things I’ve ever seen right in front of my own eyes. Its really not the same seeing it on TV or online or in the newspaper. Was still an amazing experience to interview ROTC members, some fellow students, who were there sand-bagging. I still have the films from that story. Yes, films. Those were the days!
thx the holler D!
I remember that, too! That was the summer of my internship with the Dept of Energy and Natural Resources. We spent many hours filling sandbags…not sure if it helped at all, but it was a great experience to feel that community spirit and focus on a cause more important than the mundane stuff of daily life.
