Please continue adding links.

Note to: GOPAgainstGW please contact me here: [e-mail] and let me know if your friend is OK. This is an former ISP expired address that still works so I can post it here.

(from original post)
PS: This will probably be my last post at DU for the time being. I only post here when situations require, with the last time being the Kerry/Edwards Prez bid (I/we like John Edwards very much, and I personally like John Kerry). Frankly, I loath politics, and have my hands full running our Hurricane Rita Operations here in Houston.

Further, I/we are missing a friend from the hurricane and are now very worried. She lives in a small town outside Beaumont, Texas (that was hit very hard by Hurr Rita) and has not reported in since the hurricane. It's very unlike her. We talked with the local sheriff this morning, and are in the process of heading out to get into the restricted area and her home.
