Tragedy and hope

Since I was sick and slept right through last Sunday, I’ll be talking about books I’ve read during the last two weeks! First I read The Knife Of Never Letting Go in one sitting-I got stuck in the library during a flash thunder storm and settled down in a comfy chair to read. I’m not reviewing it yet, though, since there’s a big group review in the works! In a fantasy mood, I picked up my first read for the Canadian challenge: Memory and Dream by Charles de Lint .

More like a spelling tragedy.

I don’t know how to write this post.  It’s just too difficult to hear the stories of friends and family who have lost everything from Typhoon Ondoy.  It’s too difficult to watch news reports of people high above their rooftops, with all their possessions destroyed, their lives ruined, their spirits sagging like anything would in strong winds and powerful storms.  My own story for this storm is to be stuck for 18 hours in the office.  That’s nothing, compared to the unlucky folks in evacuation ceJamb-Inc.com is a professional recording service out of St Louis, Missouri. I’ve seen them at a number of the conferences lately, the last time at the Federation of Genealogical Societies Conference in Little Rock, Arkansas, September 2-5, 2009. While they were recording at the Southern California Genealogical Society Jamboree in Burbank last June 26-28, 2009, I had the opportunity to visit with the folks for a bit.

There is no single individual or entity that can take the blame for the housing bubble and bust.  The cast of characters includes the criminal, the stupid and the naive.  There is no question though that one of the main characters in this tragedy is good old Uncle Sam: crime: pushing federal policies that favored ever-increasing home ownership, particularly from the mid-1990s on, and thus helping spawn the housing bubble at the center of the devastating meltdown.
