Wound a Little Tight, DanO ?
Things just haven't gone right since McGarrett checked out ?
Whether or not what the ONE Gas station owner was gouging or otherwise wasn't the significant point. The discussion centered around WHY one station
owner surrounded by others would be pricing product so differently. The industry analyst proffered an opinion based on his years in the petroleum
industry. As I said, "Quien Sabe", but it made sense. If, in fact, he is found to be gouging I'm sure that the Law will catch up with him.
As far as him having a "REAL" job, that's the kind of mindless garbage I'm used to hearing from the Manual Labor crowd, who don't believe anybody who
isn't having to sweat at a job is not really a worker. The Analysts have far more influence on a company's fiscal health than the Janitor.
Too bad about Fats Domino, hope they find him OK, but I do have good news. I saved a bundle on my Auto Insurance by calling Geico.
Other good news. They're letting Urine Van Der Snoot out of jail in Aruba. Maybe that'll get the Twittys off TV.

my wife donated to the red cross today...
and if we didnt have kids starting school in a week we both would join up with red cross and go do whatever we could no matter how menial the task, so
that these people could have food and shelter....cyndarouh,i totally agree with you,anything that any of us can do we should...seeing those women
holding babies talking about not having food and shelter is a little more than i can bare...especially considering that we are in a country where
there is more than enough to go around

Prenents ?
I can't say whether or not someone else should pay for a "Prenents" mistake since I have no idea what a "prenent" is.

Thanks for all your reports, pictures, links, etc. As I mentioned on Pam's post, I have a co-worker whose large extended family in the area is still
out of contact. I keep calling her over to my desk to see what you are bringing to us for information, and it has been a help. It really is true that
catastrophe can befall any of us at any time. Not sure why some find it so difficult to understand Cyndarouh's message...it seemed pretty clear to me.
Thanks again. Zoe

I think the governments response has been way too slow and it's not because of Iraq. Take any military base near by with aircraft and load it with
food and water, especially water, and other necessary things and fly it to them. There are several military bases in Alabama, Georgia, North and South
Carolina, Tenn, and Florida with thousands of personel. If necessary go to a Walmart storage centers and load up. Geez, this isn't rocket sicence.
It's someone ordering them to get off their butts and move, now. When I was in the navy we moved 2 million lbs of supplies from a cargo ship to the
carrier with helicopters in a few hrs. They need to adapt and make it happen. Just my opinion.

McGarrett
Good point, MBM. Wish I was unwinding back on the beach at Hanalei right now. No TV, no computer, nada. I'll be sure to have more context the next
time I chime in, but my job (no sweating involved) kinda gets in the way of watching TV. BTW, the point of my lame joke about the analyst was that if
he was just speculating, he ought to do something else (anything, not just something involving manual labor), because any knucklehead can hazard that
kind of guess. If it was in fact based on his years of experience in analyzing retail petroleum pricing differentials in atypical supply and demand
scenarios, more power to him.

Blood
There is an important something that most of us Nomigos can do to help in addition to sending cash - an action which will be of great assistance now
and in the long run - Donate a Pint of Blood.
It's easy to do and you'll hardly miss it, and it may help save a life - be she/he survivor of this disaster or some other.
