Know any good RSS readers?

As you may or may not have noticed, I have syndicated my blog (see the orange XML button on the right). I am still learning exactly what that means, but who ever said you needed to understand something before you got on the technology band wagon.

I am also trying to pick a good RSS reader service. Does anyone have any recommendations?

ERV's on a DR

Have you ever wondered what it's like to be a Red Cross volunteer on a national level?

Before a national disaster even strikes, local Red Cross volunteers enroll in a national Red Cross database. They select 1-3 jobs they are capable and trained to do, and when a national disaster strikes, those who are available for a specific job are deployed to those disasters.

These stories are wonderful and heartwarming. I deployed people when I worked for Red Cross, but I never actually went out on any national disasters. Nothing will replace actually being there, but the stories they brought back made me feel like I was there with them.

Read the diary of two volunteers from Duluth and Superior. These two are Emergency Response Vehicle (ERV) drivers, and responsible for feeding people who are in hard to reach places.

A variety of things

Want something fun to watch on your computer? How about some of your favorite movies, re-enacted by rabbits. My friend Jennifer introduced me to it. I loved the Titanic one... check it out!!

I am going to be walking in the American Heart Association Heart Walk on September 24th in Duluth. If you haven't yet spent your budget for charitable giving, this might be something you would be interested in. You can directly support me at MY Heart Walk web page.

This morning Clay, Bates and I took a walk through our property and ended up at Tischer Creek. We only scared up one deer and we saw lots of birds. Clay said I didn't have to keep clapping, but I thought it would help keep the bears away. Hee-hee.

That's all...
