SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS UNDER SIEGE BY MOTHER NATURE
I have said it recently, why is Mother Nature punishing poor people and the children this way? I know, I know, Mother Nature does not discriminate against Rich or Poor or children. But I do know as well, that the poor are vulnerable due to residential locations where the Rich tend to live in up scaled protected areas all around the State of Texas.
At least I remember my old neighborhood where I was growing up in the 1940`s.
O.K. I grant you that was a long time ago, and I do not even know why I am thinking this way, discrimination by Mother Nature for shit`s sake. I am concerned and angry because I have a stake in what is going on down there in my ole home town.
Perhaps Kossacks are full of writing and quoting Oklahoma and Tornadoes, the dead children there like I myself got my share of writing about that tragedy and destruction. I do not see a diary on the boards about the flooding in Texas and in particular in San Antonio. If indeed someone has written a diary about the flooding I missed it. I hope readers are not fed up with writing again about death and destruction, like I am, and I Have to think that is the reason it has caused some to ignore this latest whipping by the old lady.
I found crickets on the boards, but due to my daily life here in Milwaukee it is possible I am missing out on some diaries lately.
I have been unable to contact my sister on the phone. I know that the area where I used to shine the shoes of service men in uniform when I was just a child has flooded and I am reading in the San Antonio News:
Two people are dead and 130 others were rescued from powerful flood waters after heavy rain pummeled the San Antonio area.
When it comes to reading and believing what I read in today`s media, especially my own daily newspaper here in Milwaukee, the Journal/Sentinel I am totally burned by right-wing bull shit, so I am not taking seriously everything I am reading in the San Antonio News about the flooding in Texas. I find everything hazy and fuzzy half stories and confusion as anyone can expect in situations like this.
Perhaps I am over reacting to this new flooding in San Antonio because I do remember one in my childhood years back in the 1940`s when people also were swept out to sea or wherever water sweeps them to as my young eyes witness such devastation.
I looked at the boards to see if any Texan was dry enough to let us know what the hell is happening down there. I am in Wisconsin, safe from all this hurtful punishment by Nature but I have very delicate issues I have been on top of with respect to family members down there.
To see this image of a man standing on top of a house`s roof waiting to be rescued reminds me of the destruction water can inflict to the unprotected barrio or inner city like it did in New Orleans, Louisiana during the George Bush watch. Like New Orleans, San Antonio is no match for such rain fall`s magnitude causing flooding and that kills people.
Politicians get crazier every time I see new ones take to the podium to spew shit like I see the Latest Wingnut Alex Jones Conspiracy Theory: The right wing conspiracy buffs have come up with a new reason for all of the horrible natural disasters. Obama is using 'weather weapons'!
These type of lunatics like Alex Jones would had done better by claiming that Obama had one of those 3D Printers and printed those horrible natural disasters, after all, guns and shit can be printed, even bullets nowadays. And they kill people too.
Anyway, I am very concerned about my sister. With this new flooding problem right at her door steps I am wondering how she is managing to drive to be with "Tony", now that he has been discharged from the hospital after brain surgery. Although she has managed to drive to the new location at a rehabilitation center, she has not called me lately.
I e-mailed to my sister all the advise sent to her by kossacks where some rather boldly and in good faith advised that my sister let my nephew go, rather than permit that Tony continue with a vegetable state of being if at all.
I must admit, that I am a tad paranoid thinking how my sister took the advise, and feel a bit sad thinking that perhaps she feels I think the same way, but neglected to tell her. I am
feeling rather sad because I tried to call her this morning and even though she has no answering machine, she has ID calling service and knows I called. She has yet to call, and I
wonder what must be going on through her mind.
Now with this flooding. Things do not look good for this family. But I have always trusted that my sister is a strong woman, having raised twelve kids at last count, so I will wait for her call.
I let my eyes glance again at the boards and no one has a diary on the Texas flooding and deaths. I see more important issues being discussed. Bob Dole is in the news in the community.
So I will go ahead and push to publication button now....and ahhh,
Again I too am tired of reading of death and destruction by Mother Nature, as if guns are not doing enough killings. I guess I am just tired of all this shit.
