I only spent 8 hours in Biloxi on Tuesday. I have over 3 dozen fly bites on my legs. They are killing me right now. I hate to imagine what the people are going through. We swated at one of the dogs we were trying to catch and there were easily 3-4 dozen flies that we dislodged just by swatting at him. The tips of thier ears are bloody. For most people, it is easiest to send money to help. And for most of the charites that is better. As one guy said today, it is easier for them to transport a wrapped pallet of water rather than hundreds of Wal-Mart bags. Plus they can buy much more with the money combined. But there is still a need for individuals to donate items. So if you are sending items to one of the areas and can tuck in some fly/bug spray, they can use it. I can't imagine having to go through this everyday while dealing with all the loss at the same time. I'll be going back Saturday, hope to have good news that the bitch and puppies are out. Will let you know. Deena ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
