Sometimes even the media is embarrassed......

Like last week when they reported the bodies found that day in New Orleans (yes, they are still finding bodies). That day the body of a female, under 18 was found. Not far from her another female body was found. Was it a mother and daughter? Were they torn apart by the rushing of the water? What could the mother have felt trying to protect her daughter?

Questions such as these were possibly going through the reporters' minds becase they just looked at each other and then at the camera....in silence (an embarrassing silence?). Or maybe the questions were more like: how in the hell can there still be so much debris piled up in a United States city that bodies are still buried and being found over seven months after the fact?

Anger, embarrassment, helplessness.... Who knows. We just listen and then go on about our business. All the while keeping a prayer going in the backs of our minds for those still lost and buried.

The local news did lead off with some good news last night. They were practically giddy when they announced that there was something good to report re Katrina. The news was that the official count of the missing in Louisiana went below 1,000 yesterday - Wednesday, April 5, 2006.
