What the folks in OK need right now..

[X_Digger]

I got back late last night from ferrying a trailer full of supplies, arranged through a local church (a friend of mine who's a member knew I had a large trailer, so I got roped into hauling supplies.)

What they really need right now (in no particular order)?

-shoes & heavy boots
-dog and cat food
-feminine hygiene products
-tetanus shots (though the red cross is working on this one)
-plastic eating utensils & disposable plates/cups
-glucose meter test strips
-toilet paper and kleenex
-stuffed animals (heck, any toys, really)

What they don't need?
-sanctimonious reporters trying to goad people into crying on camera
-lookee-loo's driving around the edges of the destruction trying to snap a picture
-people pointing fingers

If you live within 200 miles, please consider reaching out to your local churches (even if you despise religion as I do) and see if they're sending supplies.
