RE: Houston - Are you there ?
Sunday update:
So I discovered several new categories of smells:
1) Low tide - the entire Galveston Island
2) Willed body/pickled people parts (for med students to disect) and those fresh, but going sour...what an "education" for me!
3) Experimental Animal bedding and food that has been rotting and growing mold for 6 days
4) Raw sewage while cleaning out the blood bank
6 years of college and 2 degrees to do this???? Well, we do what we can. They let residents on the island for a day for a "look and leave" policy- what a mistake, it became "look and loot". It was NUTS. No confirmed reports of mass amounts of bodies floating up - rumors that SOME had, but not numerous amounts. We did, however have several cow-balloons wash up at our dock. They're getting most of the ships off the freeway now along with the boats and other items. I think we've got most of the hazardous material cleaned up at the university/hospital and power, light and water's back on. Oh, and the blackhawks aren't flying as much - just once in a while.
Another week and we'll get a day off.
