Well, it’s almost 10:30 at night where I’m sitting and you’ll notice there wasn’t an entry all day. There was a reason for that: I was working on my house.

As with many people, I have been bombarded over the last couple of days with “last minute” projects and requests by folks who suddenly realized on Monday that there were only 3 work days this week. Well, really only 2½ since most people take off early today. In the midst of all of that, I [...]
A Washington Post article this week talks about the incoming Obama administration’s possible move to pull FEMA out of the Homeland Security Department and stand it up on its own again. The Federal Emergency Management Administration, a tragicomic disaster since Hurricane Katrina in August 2005 — and even before then — looks to be getting [...]
