Re: Checking in...

Jim, I so sorry about Squinty.  I would echo the advice given by everyone
else.  You did what you could for her.  Try not to beat yourself up about
it.  Have a good trip.  I'm sure she will be safe.

"... [when] families are struggling to keep up with rising costs  ordinary
Americans are paying a price for this [Iraq] war. When you're spending over
$50 to fill up your car because the price of oil is four times what it was
before Iraq, you're paying a price for this war. When Iraq is costing each
household about $100 a month, you're paying a price for this war. When a
National Guard unit is over in Iraq and can't help out during a hurricane in
Louisiana or with floods here in West Virginia, our communities are paying a
price for this war. "
-Senator Barack Obama, "The Cost of War", March 20, 2008, at The University
of Charleston, Charleston, West Virginia
