September 08 Changing SeasonIt's getting colder at night. The rain is here, along with a suttle wind. Autumn is slowly wrapping its arms of colorful ambience around us. No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace Honied yellow dripping gold,
Leaf of autumn in the cold
Dancing on in crisp despair
Whirling on enchanted air
Falling silently to earthen tomb
Away from tree's rooted arm
Perhaps the silence broken then
By hollow cries of autumn grief
Synchronized with the falling leaf
floating from the sky
scarlet leaves of bitterness soon the harvest moon some shrill geese in flight horse chestnuts rolling with final farewells The summer, what summer? September 01 Hurricane Gustov and CNNOkay, so there's a nasty category 3 hurricane right on the doorstep of New Orleans. FEMA seems to have actually made an effort this time with preparations and emergency evacuations. Including seniors in retirement homes and longterm care facilities. Not like last time, in 2003 when seniors were left to die in their own beds from the massaive flooding after the leeves broke. There actually seems to be some order this time. But what I find somewhat humorous is the fact that Anderson Cooper from CNN was 'on location' in New Orleans on Friday. CNN has reporters imbeded into certian locations around the Florida Panhandle, and other locations where they think massive destruction will occur. You can't miss them, with their trademark orange rainjackets. It's like they are expecting massive flooding and devistation to occur. I can't blame them in that regard, with what happened with hurricane Katrina. But my problem is that CNN thrives off of this shit. They are like wolves and carrions, waiting to devour any news coverage they can get. You will definatley see it on CNN, breaking news brought to you first by CNN(sigh)! From their overwhelming 24 hr coverage of the presidental race (which I am so sick of) to this hurricane of deadly potential. America failed to protect it's own 3 years ago with hurricane Katrina. Epic fail. Now they are trying to erase those mistakes (which will never happen) by actually sending in the proper help. I will keep those people who are affected by this hurricane in my prayers, and hope that the States doesn't make a major cluster fuck of the entire thing.
