This week is
going to be interesting. In the event
that we stick around St. Genevieve Wes only wants Will and I to drive the
UTV. Don’t get me wrong, I love working
the vehicle, I just feel bad because everyone else is backpack spraying. If Wes sticks to his guns maybe we can switch
out the gunner so everyone will get a break from the packs. But yes, there is also a chance we will get
called out on disaster to Mississippi or Alabama. Several states have been ravaged by tornadoes
and some are being hit as we speak (Arkansas is a big one). We do not have access to the internet here,
but through a couple of phone calls we know one of our teams was called back to
the office and that we are on standby.
While I hope nobody has been seriously hurt, I kind of want the call as
I would love a little experience in the disaster field: it was a key factor in
my joining the Emergency Response Team.
We may even get the call later tonight…hmm, I suppose it would be wise
to get some sleep just in case. Good
night all; I hope you’re all safe.

Welcome to my little corner of the inter-webs! I just wanted to take this space to warn you that my posts will rarely be up to date. Due to the spontaneity of natural disasters and the unpredictability of when AmeriCorps' services will be requested I will be digitizing my journal entries whenever we return to St. Louis. Oh, and most of the pictures you see here were taken by myself. If ever I do use someone else's material I make a point to give them due credit though! That said, come, leave comments and be merry! I hope you enjoy your stay!
