Dee Ice Hole: NOT JUST FIRES----

Some say the world will end with fire.

Others say with ice.

From what I've tasted of desire

I hold with those that favor fire.

But if I had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate,

To say that for destruction ice,

Is also great and would suffice.

NOT JUST FIRES----

This tour to Louisiana to Cameron Parish after Hurricane Rita made for the worst Christmas in my life. We left Cameron Parish enroute home on the 20th of December if I remember right. I remember sitting on the couch after I got home and just crying because we had so much for Christmas and these folks had so little. Wanna talk about goin' home - they didn't have a home to go home to - and most of them still don't.

This photo is of the remains of hundreds of homes. I tried to upload a power point of the incident but don't have the skills to do that I guess.
