At the beginning of the month, I posted the view from my window. Today, I’ve been staring out the same window for the past few hours, watching the clouds move. So fast! They are flying! Literally!

I’ve never seen clouds move this fast since I moved out of Mississippi.
It’s been quite a show.

I know this is because of the tail end of Katrina spinning itself out, but it’s still a fascinating weather phenomenon. Sort of. It’s cool to watch on the radar, and it’s neat to see the bits of weather we get up here…but it’s not cool in Mississippi.

Maybe I’m going to make this plea because I’m from Mississippi. Maybe I’m going to make this plea because I know people from the towns that no longer exist. Maybe I’m going to make this plea because some of my best friends don’t have homes anymore and have moved in with my parents. I don’t know.

But folks, if you can, please donate something. It doesn’t have to be the Red Cross. It doesn’t have to be the Salvation Army or the United Jewish Communities. Please. Donate somewhere, if you can.
