We have some local skin in the game down in Haiti. From the ABQ Journal:
Medical personnel deployed Sunday are in addition to two aircraft from Cannon that were sent Wednesday
Medical personnel from Cannon Air Force Base's 27th Special Medical Group and 27th Special Operations Support Squadron deployed Sunday to help with earthquake relief efforts in Haiti.
Sunday's deployment from the eastern New Mexico base at Clovis is in addition to two MC-130W Combat Spear aircraft Cannon sent Wednesday from its 73rd Special Operations Squadron. (ed: link added by YrHmblScrb. The pic, too.)
Those aircraft have been delivering personnel, medical supplies, food, water and fuel to support the international aid efforts in Haiti.
Nobody knows how many died in Tuesday's quake. Haiti's government has already recovered 20,000 bodies -- not counting those recovered by independent agencies or relatives themselves, Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive told The Associated Press.
Good on our guys! (We use the plural possessive because we're... ahem... "still serving," as it's said.)

Now about those other wind instruments... I've been spoiled of late, seeing as how we've enjoyed three consecutive days of outdoor Happy Hours. That won't happen today because although our temp is moderate the winds are howling. Shorter: it's not a nice day outside.I'm thinking the wind is much worse than the lil graphic indicates as El Casa Móvil De Pennington is rocking to and fro at an alarming rate. It's a great good thing I'm not prone to motion sickness coz Dramamine isn't stocked in our medicine cabinet.
