I'm tremendously impressed by the generosity and compassion of Texas. God bless 'em. And to everyone that has gone to the Red Cross or donated to help those in need.

I understand a hospital ship is on it's way from Baltimore to help. Was Carnival being asked to provide temporary shelter? That would be impressive if they did use one of their ships for that purpose, wouldn't it?

Actually, the only country outside the US that I've heard has offered anything is Saudi Arabia ... who offered to increase oil production to help. They were not the first I expected to hear from, but bless them if they did. We complain about them often enough ... they deserve credit when they do good.
