More hurricane stuff

Well, Rita finished off what Katrina started. The holly is down again. I don't think it will be possible to get it up again, but we may give it a try, *sigh*.

And something scary in the news tonight reminded me of something that happened after the storm that I didn't post in my diary...

The news that 3,000 registered sex offenders from N.O. are scattered around the country with no way to track them down easily is creepy.

Almost as creepy as this: when my sweet Marines were cleaning up my yard, they found this funny looking device, and showed it to me. I didn't know what it was until they enlightened me.

It was an ankle bracelet for house arrest, that had been cut off. One of the Marines advised that we turn it over to the cops, as it had an identifying number on it, which we did. But still...

Ohmygod, that is do creepy. Do you know if it is an old one or something recent? I hope you find out it dates back to a long time ago. Still...I can understand your concern. And hopefully the sex offenders are still running.

I am so sorry about the holly tree. You may as well try again. There is nothing to lose and some trees are very resiliant.

I hope you, Mr. Dreamflower, and Anna are save and sound by now and putting your lives back together. I tremble to think about all the coming damage and danger from Rita. I hope you escape anything else. You deserve some peace. (((hugs)))

I don't know if we *deserve* it, but we certainly could *use* it. The DH is making serious noises about moving. I don't really *want* to, but I'm thinking it over.

As for the ankle bracelet, I doubt if we will ever know. We turned it in to the authorities, and they seemed glad to get it, but rather blase about it all.
