A Semi-Truck Delivery

New Orleans, U.S.A. - September 15, 2005

It was at least 110 degrees in this warehouseA long day started at 5am when we left the Houston convention center with a loaded semi-truck filled with water, food and hygiene supplies. We have been swamped at the convention center with supplies that have exceeded the need of the evacuees. We unloaded the truck in Ponchatula, La where it will be sorted by pallets and await a call from the New Orleans area on what is needed and where it needs to be delivered to. Although one would never think taking supplies is a dangerous job, in this case, it is. Just last week, one of the drivers was taking a load to a New Orleans parish was shot at.
