Blog Action Day '8

]Today's Blog Action Day '08, a day uniting bloggers around the world to bring attention to poverty. Here in Austin, it isn't that noticeable...until you get to one of the many busier intersections and see the homeless, with their cardboard signs asking for help, or happen to drive under one of the I-35 overpasses at night and see where many of them sleep. Like my son did, for six months, when he was only 16 years old.
So take a moment and be thankful for what you have, and remember there are folks out there who don't have enough to eat or even a roof over their heads. We donate clothes and canned goods; the company I work for is nearing its goal of $350,000 for United Way. Everyone can do somethng...every little bit helps.
Times are hard. For some, it's harder. So lend a hand to your fellow man.
(Oh, btw..on a brighter note, it did finally rain.)
