Off topic, but... I'm going to Biloxi with the Red Cross for 3 weeks.
I'm leaving on Saturday and coming back on December 3rd. Looks like it'll be Thanksgiving in the mess hall, LOL!

But I can't take my laptop because I won't have anywhere to store it while I'm working. :( Just I thought I'd post that here so a) you all don't wonder why I will seem to have dropped off the earth, and b) I get a chance to say goodbye to my closest DU friends. :hi:

What I want to know is, can I still enter the contest? Please Blue, please, please? I'll send you the url with the shot I'd like to ue. Please please please? (Groveling is SO unbecoming! I'm pitiful! :P)

1. Its great that you are going to help.
Stay safe. As far as Thanksgiving goes, I'm betting you won't mind being there helping the people that need it and I know you will bring them some joy in what is going to be a really hard holiday for them.

4. I admit I'm hoping for donated turkey
on Thanksgiving, not some horrid k-ration turkey wanna-be. :evilgrin:

But you're right, it will be worth it to work with the evacuees on what it means to be thankful in the aftermath of Katrina.

5. Ok, then here's wishing you a real turkey
with all the trimmings for Thanksgiving dinner. Oh and a warm shower on a regular basis.

3. I'm bringing the digital, but don't know
how much opportunity I'll have to take photos. Can't take photos in the shelters for privacy reasons, don't know how much I'll be out and about t take damage shots.

But you know I'm bringing the camera!

But they tell me my assignment might change once I get down there. PM me you phone number in case I have access to a computer while there, and if they send me to Alabama, I'll be sure to call. :hi:
