I'm glad those who are there are helping out. And I could hardly blame them for gawking–it’s what I’ve been doing, at a comfortable remove. I’m glad those who are there are helping out.

I hope to get our own photos online tonight, although I don't think they add much to the already extensive record. I will say that there are a lot of melodramatic signs like that on our block, including one that reads, "Now I know what it feels like to be homeless; I hope you enjoy the sight!" I can't begrudge the signmakers their indignation; nor can I, however, muster the same indignation at sightseers. It's spectacular, but such spectacles for many people become partcipations. Many people volunteered to help in the clean up, and I can't help but think many who volunteered gawked first, realized they had something to contribute, then did.
