Exactly. And I see nothing wrong with going over a scenario that involves
starting over for whatever the reason. Flood, divorce, job loss, fore.
burglary, etc. While it is important to get family things in order, at
some point tools will be a consideration. The rest of us can help by
donating time, money, materials, whatever, to the Katrina victims but we
still have to move ahead with our lives. IMO, this is not much more than
asking "what do you want for dinner tomorrow?"


I think what struck me wrong is that most of the people that have lost
everything, those that probably have no insurance most likely did not have
the luxury of owning expensive tools. With that in mind, they would
probably wish that they had the luxury of worrying about their water soaked
tools instead of where their family is and where their next meal may come
from.
I don't condemn the nature of the thread as much as the timing. I seriously
doubt that many NO survivors would have much sympathy for some one that only
had to worry about damaged tools at this point. In you only have water
soaked tools be thankful.
