    I started getting pretty emotional.....

    I went through Hurricane Alicia in the 80s and the neighborhood next to mine called Brownwood was completely wiped out....nothing but slabs.....the Storm surge took em away...very strange feeling.

    Eh, lost a little punch after the political stuff was inserted. Good for him for helping. I hope he knows that a lot of liberals are helping as well.

    "I rarely agree with television talking heads, mainly because they are so liberal and also so ignorant about the world around them. I had to concede that, for once, they were right."

    I think its a shame to let a jab at the media lessen this hero's story.

    Sorry, can't help it mainly because I don't think it was just a jab at the media. I think the guy's a hero and I admire what he did, I just thought it was a very unnecessary comment. It is too bad that he couldn't be the head of FEMA or something. :)

    Well, I think Sean Penn is a blithering idiot, but I did admire what he did by going down there, his political motivations notwithstanding.

    Come on dude. I think you are taking away more from that statement than what he intended.

    I feel exactly the same way. I honestly shouldn't have brought it up. That's my bad. It was a great story and I respect the guy for the help he brought to those who needed it.

    Maybe its just the skeptic in me but I find almost everything on the internet difficult to believe, including this blog. Its a great story but sounded like it was made up. If true, then good for him.

    The blog is from a friend of a friend...I have met the man, and my friend that is in the same (vehicle restoration) group and I have no doubt that the story is real.

    I hope that this blog is true and I have no doubt that there have been people that have made an extraordinary effort to help the victims of this disaster, but I get the feeling that this story is made up.

    But, there are some things that seem to random for it to be a made up story, like the guy asking to have his piano moved.
