No, not ferret related, but in light of BIG's call to celebration I thought I'd share. My father works for US Airways. He was en route home to Tampa, FL from a business trip in Europe on Tuesday. His flight was diverted to Halifax, Canada. He just got back to the states today. The generosity and kindness of the people of Halifax was staggering. They sheltered, fed, entertained, and cared for nearly 10,000 people on very short notice. The local phone company set up phone banks and let people call home for FREE. Medical personnel volunteered and were available 24 hours/day. Local merchants discounted purchases for the travelers stranded there. Local people brought home-cooked meals and even took people into their homes. Free shuttle buses were provided. Dad said they did everything they possibly could to make the travelers feel welcome. There are some incredibly evil people in this world, but they are far outnumbered by the rest of us! -Lo (mandatory ferret content: Mojo and Wilbur are sure glad to have Grandpa home!)
