3:55 P.M. - WWL-TV: Peyton and Eli Manning made a surprise visit to a shelter and helped the American Red Cross to deliver food, water, Gatorade, baby formula and diapers to the evacuees. More than 30,000 pounds of non-perishable items in total.

"This is home," Peyton said. "I don't know how many we're gonna help, but we gotta do something."

One woman at the shelter commended the Manning brothers for coming to town.

"That really is beautiful," she said. "They've lifted our spirits."

The Mannings have always been salt of the earth guys. Archie raised his sons right. A great New Orleans family. I would like to see the media show some of the good within the city. Can't ignore the pure evil happening with the senseless rapes and murders, but the picture is larger than just the rogue criminal element that was the same rogue criminal element before the storm.

If there was no storm, and all authority left the city, you would have seen this same very small criminal element behave the same. They would have picked up arms, looted the city, and burned and rape at leisure.

The media has not really reported that about half of the New Orleans police force is missing in action--they either quit or fled or are in hiding. As reported earlier, two officers committed suicide. The situation has been dire in a way few I think can comprehend because the murder and rape of children in a major American city is just something most of us refuse to believe or simply cannot comprehend as true--just sounds like rumor.

When the story is eventually told of what has occured inside the city over the last week, prepare yourself to be sick to your stomach. What little I've heard first-hand is beyond description.

Things are getting better. But heads need to roll over the events of the last six days.

J, did you click on the link below the map or the map itself? If you click just on the map it only enlarges the map image, but when I click on the link under the map, everything works as advertises. Let me know.
