The daughter's roommate made it to Galveston, today, to retrieve personal items from the dorm room. The near 100-degree daily temperature, 90+ humidity, wind and rain damage, permitted mold to take over the entire dormatory. Apparently, there is nothing worth saving, except the fish in the aquarium. He was left behind because school officials told students at time of evacuation to take only a week's worth of items and they would be back at campus in a few days. Apparently, all left the aquariums behind. I don't know about the others, but, this fish was still swimming about. Kinda neat how aquatic critters can reduce their metabolic rate to survive long periods without food.
Now, we have to submit an itemized list of all her belongings. All those clothes we bought this past summer - gone. What a waste. She said she never got a chance to wear half of those clothes.
Well, I have to submit a claim through FEMA -- I've been told victims of Katrina are still waiting for their FEMA checks -- don't t'ya just love government workings?
Enjoy the rest of your weekend, folks.
