one storm too many

one hand

then the other

eating alone

 

 

 

 

   









one wing
folded against the other–
colors of a dead butterfly

 

 

 

 

 

 

one mirror for everyone

the rest stop

restroom

two days

after the hurricane —

tears for strangers

tiny check  My head is swimming (drowning) with thoughts of Kristina‘s

devastation and chaos.   Safe in a comfortable home with working

plumbing, and having ready access to transportation, food, and

communications, I can’t possibly know what it feels like to be a

Kristina refugee.  This writer can’t find the words to express my

sadness and my hopes for so many strangers who seem so

vulnerable and face so many tribulations.

 

tiny check  RiskProf Martin Grace explains why Katrina will mean higher    graphClimb 

insurance rates for Florida and elsewhere — think: reinsurance, rebuilding

(lumber), and risk.    He also graciously points to our post today on Lawyer

Litigators Day, and usefully informs us that there is a new weblog from

Brookings-AEI regulatory group, called the Daily Reg-Report.



Browsing the new weblog, I quickly found a

study that confirms what I’ve said for years —

phoning while driving is more dangerous than

driving drunk.  See A Comparison of the Cell


F. Drews, D. Crouch. Working Paper 04-13. Jul 2004.

 


tiny check As busy as Martin Grace was at RiskProf, he nonetheless

contributed an interesting piece to Point of Law today, asking

whether The Catholic Church Gets Good Legal Advice? 

(While he’s surely right to suggest that the Church’s lawyers

have added to its woes, I’m not totally sure I agree with Martin

that “the Church’s lawyers did not cause the Church’s liability

problems.”   If counsel played any role in constructing and

prolonging the decades of cover-up and the sheltering of sexual

offenders, they indeed bear a lot of blame.)
