I finally figured out, thanks to a couple of people who let me know that they couldn’t leave comments here, that comments weren’t working. Duh.

I can’t stop watching the news and searching the web for more information on what’s going on in New Orleans. Here’s a blog by the Times Picayune, filled with heartbreaking cries for help from relatives and friends of missing people.
