Is it OK if I send a copy of this to my Bishop?

Dont worry, Obama will save you!!!!
In the meantime, stock up on beer and liquor. It's better to die drunk
than live sober.

What do you all thinlk about my drinking water from the stream behind
my house? It only goes another 3 miles west of here, through areas
with single family homes. and a few apartments.
Would the only contamination be weed and insect poison applied to
lawns and shrubs etc? Wouldn't that be washed off and washed away
by October 30?
There used to be little crayfish living in the stream, and nothing
much seems to have changed since then, but I haven't been to that
part of the stream lately.
I'd suggest it for washing and flushing. But, store up some tap water for
food and drinking. Supposedly, girardia is every where. Diarrhea is never
welcome, but less so during a crisis.

I'd be more concerned for girardia (spl?) and other wild life parasites.
BTW
regular purification tables do work on girardia but serious boiling might
(don't know
for sure). It's bad enough of health folk but kids and those with immune
problems can be deadly.
The warning went out DAYS ago that the storm was headed right for you. If I
were in your predicament I'd have locked the doors and taken the next flight
out of the region. Vandalism? Thefts? Well, that might have happened, but
I'd rather have my life than worry about a few possessions.
Good luck with that. Not only were the flights probably filled, but later
flights were cancelled.
One of my employees, during hurricane Yikes, decided to evacuate from NW
Houston (elevation 220') to San Antonio. He spent the entire brunt of the
hurricane with his wife, baby, dog, and mother trapped on the Interstate not
more than 50 miles from home.
With regard to this craziness, my state has adopted some measures to
implement in the future (exactly how to do them, they picked up from
Florida):
* The major evacuation routes will be turned into all lanes one-way.
* Gas stations on these evacuation routes will be required to top off their
storage tanks prior to the hurricane.
* St. Christopher medals will be handed out to all evacuees. (I know, it's
silly. But it can't hurt.)
In the instant case of New Jersey, New York, and so forth, I'll bet they've
never had to experience such and do not have similar plans in place.
Bottom line: Leaving has its own set of problems.
