So, my sister goes to med school on the island commonwealth of Grenada. That island got thoroughly ass-raped by Hurricane Ivan. 90% of the buildings were destroyed. This includes the jail and the mental facilities, so all the colorful characters a population of 100,000 has to offer are prowling the streets hungry and thirsty. My sister had someone with a gun demand her shoes. I don't think she gave them to him, though. She's now on campus, where things are suitably safe. Hopefully she'll be on a plane home by Monday.

Life is funny sometimes. I hear -rog-'s parents are there as well. A local news station came out to our house to interview my parents about how it all feels, and the segment ended up on Univisión. Since my dad is tite with the coach of the Colts, the announcers gave my sister well-wishes before the Patriots game last night on national tv.

I hope this builds lots of character for everyone.
