They also stayed for a good long time, providing hot meals and basic supplies in neighborhoods with no electricity. Their volunteers were also crucial in setting up information hubs in addition to just plain being really, really nice, supportive Surly Templehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05057191570792423261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883226237165701608.post-17625485848247449722012-11-01T11:43:43.154-04:002012-11-01T11:43:43.154-04:00I humbly endorse the post, because every once in a...I humbly endorse the post, because every once in a while we need to be reminded that there's misery...and then there's MISERY.
