All the same I called up my local ARC office (early this afternoon, long before I read your entry) and expressed a wish to do something, seeing as I have ten fingers, ten toes, well-functioning grey matter, and some valuable skills - but nowhere near the resources that would enable me to take off from my open accounts and boogie to Louisiana.
