Katrina

Many of the webloggers in the sidebar have been helping to organize relief for victims of Katrina or share information about the tragedy. See, for example, What's in Rebecca's Pocket?, a poignant post in Asymmetrical Information, Life Begins at 30, an interesting post about Katrina wikis at Marginal Revolution, and many more. It still seems too early to begin to think about what the storm has in store for the national food economy. For a start, see NBC in Alabama on food prices, or Fast Food Facts on the restaurant industry. God bless the rescue and relief workers and sustain their strength and goodwill.
