On Katrina
vowe dot net :: It keeps you wondering: " dot net communicate :: collaborate :: commemorate It keeps you wondering by Volker Weber I just heard on CNN that one of the aids from Europe the US adminstration is asking for is oil. Why is that? To keep the price of gas down in the US. Let's do some quick math. I believe the price is hitting 3 US$ a gallon in the US. Google tells me that 1 gallon is 3.78 litres and $3 is 2.42 Eur. That would be 2.42 Eur/ 3.78 litre = 0.64 Eur a litre. In Germany gas sells for 1.40 to 1.60 Eur a litre. That is $6.55 to $7.49 a gallon. — Posted 2005-09-02 19:04

Aid is finally reaching a few of those who are in desperate need in New Orleans. I've been glued to interdictor and it's amazing to hear about the things that are going on in the city. A lot fell through the cracks and the post-mortem will be interesting. I've thought about posting housing availability to hurricanehousing.org but worry about issues like people taking advantage or being criminals. I'm not sure if it's cautiousness or being judgemental. I'll figure something out.Posted by beamz at September 2, 2005 5:38 PM
