Whatever one might think about America and it leadership at the moment, it is hard not to feel for those people displaced because of the hurricanes.
We have a visit every couple of years in Bridge of Allan from a pipe band from St Thomas Episcopal School in Houston, Texas. Inevitably today, I find myself wondering whether they are all safe.
Whilst thinking about personal connections with that part of the world, I also find myself thinking about climate change and wondering whether this will make President Bush and others take the whole matter more seriously. Those who sow the wind, as the prophet said, will reap the whirlwind. When the wind dies down there are decisions to be made that will affect every one of us.
