Sleep is for sissies

Over the past 5 days I've stayed up pretty late working on projects trying to get databases built for people on the ground who are deploying disaster response teams for those who have been affected by the storm. See the results here

Our city is working on housing some refugees and trying to figure out what the needs are. We are a community of about 8000 and having even a 300 new people in town is a pretty big change for us. At any given time we only have 3... yes I said 3 Police officers on duty. (That isn't counting Sherriff / County / MHP officers)

We have already heard reports of people coming here and buying houses. This could be the economic boom we've been hoping for. Winston County has several buildings ready to be occupied by manufacturers that may have been shut down by the storm. Ya'll come up here and we'll show you what we can do. We also have some downtown property that is vacant. We need a good restraunt that can cook and has atmosphere down town for lunch. I've got a building in mind for that one too. It's not officially on the market but could be bought.

In other news, ya'll be sure an check out Batch's blog. He's got some good stuff... Oh and a link to him on the news.
