Yesterday, a cattle ranger from Idaho that has a Miva Merchant store front calls us for help with his online store, while later that day 100 pets, made homeless in New Orleans, arrive a few miles down the road at a regional airport here in New Jersey. We may seem geographically far apart but truly we are connected like no other time. The connection made possible though the media and the internet is making us feel united with those in need. Many network reporters publish daily Blogs sharing untold stories from the real trenches. Without editing, timelines, and deadlines these front line accounts will become part of history. As Rita approaches we send our prayers to Texas and Louisiana.
