World on Fire

Every once in awhile I stop and think about something other than myself. ( Crazy, I know!) I was making fun of my brother-in-law because is office here in SLC is having to take up a lot of the slack from the home office on Mobile, Alabama. I find it really interesting to stop and study the way everything seems to be connected in the world. You may think that a storm in the South won't affect you, but it can in a lot of ways. Gas prices, for example. But it seems to me that there's more to it. I'm amazed at how the Internet and other technology has helped people come together. I play Battlefield 2 online and I had no idea that some of the regulars I play with live in New Orleans. They've been absent from the maps, of late. Maggie was mentioning blogs of people who have had to bug out. Despite how far away things like this may seem, it's still personal for most of us. All the more reason for us to be good to people, disasters abounding or not.
