Today I drove back to Knoxville from my weekend visiting family in Roanoke, VA.

The trip is about 270 miles one way. For about 180 miles of the trip I was passing convoy after convoy of Guardsmen and women on their way to provied relief to the gulf.

I also so lots of public volunteers on their way to provide medical care. http://www.pbase.com/lundy/image/48787324
