Greetings

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!

St. Genevieve - 4/28

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.
