December 28: Contrast of Life Styles

Rancho Bernardo, CA


As I sip my Starbucks sitting by my roaring fire and safe from the pounding rain outside, I read about the terrible disaster in Southeast Asia. Frankly, I don’t think I can even begin to comprehend. At least I can write another check.

Nice cosy setting with headlines making it clear how we are so lucky with a roof over our heads...though so many Americans have lost or may lose their Amer. Dream to the finacial greed in the mortgage and banking biz...

Lovely image and sentimants Robin ...
Thanks for reminding us about what really matters!

How right you are, Robin. The devastation looks like Armageddon; the suffering may have just begun for those poor souls. My check is on the way. Thanks for this.

it is mind boggling Robin. I can't comprehend that level of devastation. We are so sheltered here. It is just so heartbreaking. You did good to provide that link.

Robin, I have been lurking around pbase for a while, enjoy your photographs. Today I almost didn't look as I felt guilty playing on the computer while so many suffer. I'm glad I did look at your site. I immediately followed your link and made a donation. I can't even imagine how awful it must be there. Thanks for posting your link.

Yea, your right, these people need help. Thanks for the link. Now I gotta write a check:)

It is such a contrast - I don't know quite what to "do" with it. Thanks for the link.

Nice shot, Robin. Mother nature can strike anywhere and at any time. There but for the grace of God go we.

We are so lucky that “the least” we can do is to write a check to help.
