"Refugees" Refuse to Board Plane to Utah

Getting back to the original thread subject, nearly 150 of the 950 or so
evacuees here have applied to set up residence in Utah. They seem to
like the mountains and people according to the interviews I saw. Some
thought the mountains were fake. I saw a lot of evacuees being taken
around the canyon today by their hosts. The best way I can describe
their reaction to the mountains is that they had the demeanor of someone
in the Taj Mahal or some temple. Really struck me.

Not hard to believe that people from New Orleans would think mountains are
fake. Remember, there's a Matterhorn at Disney World...

One of the nicest stories to come out of this whole sorry mess is about the
six-year-old boy taking care of half a dozen smaller children. Lordy.

Maybe I have the wrong definition of gaper? I'm still learning the
language. I thought gaper was someone clueless about the surroundings,
not in awe of it.

Yeah that story was simply amazing.

There's a sociological statement to be made about that, Im just too
dumb and lazy to think it up.

Easy: People are a whole lot nicer and more capable than we think they are.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be true often enough.

Have the missionaries been around yet?

You can bet they're being sized up by them. The cult leadership is
clever enough to know that their interference is expected so I'm sure
that there is a tactic for sneaking it in one them. You can be sure
that new victims is the reason for the "generosity" though.

Sometimes dyslexia provides unwarranted hope. I read that to be an
offer of of "permutation of the characters LDS" on that bus. I'd
hope on the bus, too.

Ken and Augustus, we need you, come on back. And bring the bus,
please.

I've seen pictures of several hundred school busses underwater in
N.O. Maybe you could get one of those?

And it's still more than you're doing. You don't have *any* reason to be
generous. Just bitter. I think I'll go with them. Thanks. Until you pony
up, shut up.
