701
The page came yesterday afternoon.
"701"
The code for out of county disaster.
So I called in and got the recorded message. Coconino County Search and Rescue is tapping its members for a deployment of up to three weeks to the gulf coast, with responders able to support themselves unassisted for 3-4 days at a time in a disaster zone setting.
So I looked at my pocket calender, although I already knew what it said. I am slated to teach that wilderness first responder class in Colorado from the 6th-14th. Right in the middle of the deployment. After hemming and hawing for a spell, I called in and listed my availability as ongoing after the 15th, available as neccesary depending on the duration of the operation. I considered canceling my obligation to teach, but in the end descided that what I would be doing in the gulf coast could be done by any trained volunteer, but this particular class, wilderness medicine, I am in a unique position to make happen. It's not as if I am forgoing the chance to help to work at Charly's. But it is ironic that even as I was planning on registering with the Red Cross disaster relif team here in town and was able to travel to the otherside of the world to help folks with thier disaster, I can't quite make it to help my neighbors just a few states away. At least not yet...

Off-color humor blog goes off-line
Saying it was vulnerable to hackers, State Rep. Daylin Leach has taken down his Web site that catalogued years' worth of his humor columns, many of them laced with references to pornography, booze and drugs.
I'm definitely going to bookmark you! I have a condo direct owner playacar rental site/blog. It pretty much covers condo direct owner playacar rental related stuff.
Come and check it out if you get time :-) Tom
What the crap is this nonsense? Do other blogs get this drivel posted as comments?

I think it's called comment spamming. I didn't look at it, but the Blogger dashboard has an article about it.
New Orleans is a tough call. I don't know what to tell you. Your knowledge will be at the mercy of the bureacratic mess down there.
