A while back, I went to Burning Man...

Although I never touched glitter or dayglo (being one who vickigigs), I was cut off from the outside world. When I came back, we found out that Katrina had visited, and listened to the tales of disaster.

I haven't gone to Burning Man this year, and I find myself missing it. For the change in life that points out what's good and bad about day to day. For the amazing creativity that I see there, in static and ephemeral art, in techartistry, in people. For the opportunity, the space, to adopt a relatively monastic regime.

And, although it won't be katrina, this video that foxworthy pointed out shows another disaster:
