Today, for a brief second, I thought of a life without Roger. It was much like my current life, except that this forum was a bit nicer.

So, the whole no job thing means throwing money at the problem isn't an option for me, but it also means I have a lot of free time.  If anybody knows anything I can do to help in the area of Salt Lake (I'm thinking stuff like loading supplies,  handling paperwork etc) I'd appeciate knowing about it.

Do you have any bibles you can bear to part with?
My shit list: Stephen Harper, anarchists that complain about taxes instead of institutionalized torture, those people walking, anyone who lets a single aspect of themselves define their entire personality, salesmen that don't smoke pipes, Fredericton New Brunswick, bigots, philosophy majors, my nemesis, pirates that don't do anything, criminals without class, sociopaths, narcissists, furries, juggalos, foes.

Have you checked your state website?  Massachusetts has its Haiti relief site being flashed intermittently on road advisory signs.

Get in contact with the Red Cross. They should point you in the right direction.

Think positive thoughts while facing in a generally southeasterly direction.

We appear to be doomed by our DNA to repeat the same destructive behaviors our forebears have repeated for millenia. If anything our problem solving skills have actually diminished with the advent of technology & our ubiquitous modern conveniences. & yet despite our predisposition towards fear-driven hostility; towards what we anachronistically term primitive behavior another instinct is just as firmly encoded in our make-up. We are capable as our ancestors were of incredible breathtaking acts of kindness. Every hour of every day a man risks his life at a moments notice to save another. Forget for a moment the belligerent benevolent billionaires who grant the unfortunate a crumb of costfree cake. I speak of pure acts of selflessness. A Mother who rushes into the street to save a child from a speeding vehicle. A person who runs into a burning building to reach a family trapped on the upper story. Such actions,such moments,such unconscious selfless decisions,define what it is to be human
