Boycott the Hilton and their other hotel chains including the Hampton Inn and email them your personal feelings regarding their actions listed below.

Hilton Hotels Corp., the parent company of Hampton Inn and other brands, is trying to find other rooms for the evacuees but said they were warned when they checked in that stays would be limited by room availability, said Hilton spokeswoman Kathy Shepard.
"They told me if I didn't pick my clothes up, they were going to call the police," Perry said.
Her mother, who uses a wheelchair, and her father, who is blind, were also told to check out, but they were granted an extension after a Red Cross volunteer intervened, said Perry's mother, Betty Myers.

-- When I try to use the link, it gives an error message indicating an incorrect article refernce. Could you give us some guidance on what the Hilton chain did to warrant a general boycott? Or a newer link to the article? We have stayed at a few Hampton Inns in the past, and always fould the staff to be friendly and accommodating.
Waiting is......

The hotels by the Hilton corporation including the Hampton Inn are the only ones reported to be evicting Katrina evacuees to make room for guest with prior reservations. One example given by the article was a lady and her wheelchair bound mother and her blind father were threatened with the hotel staff calling the police if they didn't pack up and leave. The Redcross and other agencies managed to step in for them and managed to get the management to keep them a little longer. The problem is with so many evacuees spread out across the gulf coast area it's hard to get temporary housing like trailers or campers set up for all the people.

SailorDave: Do you have firsthand knowledge of the purported eviction? After all the rumors that the press/media caused to seem true about the "horrors" at the Superdome and at the convention Center (that were subsequently found to be wholly without merit), isn't it prudent to verify the source of your information before passing such along as fact?
As naturists, we have experienced the difficulty of refuting "rumors" about the wild orgies of nudists and other absolute fiction. Often just saying, "It ain't so." doesn't work too well. Don't you agree?

Can't say I personally saw first hand but did do some looking and found similar reports out of Florida of Katrina evacuees being kicked out of the same corporation's hotels because of guest with reservations coming into town for the college football games that weekend. No other hotel chain were mentioned.

Fall is always a depressing time for me.
The weather is to cool to be nude at the beach I go to, but is just warm enough for a tease. Usually this time of year I head for the desert or go hiking in the inland mountains, but with the cost of gas being what it is that isn't very practical. On the bright side I have a clothing optional Halloween party to go to so it's not all that bad I guess. Last weekend though it was 90 on Friday and 80 on Saturday and raining on Sunday. Guess who had family commitments all last weekend? Now it's been sunny during the week but on the cool side staying around the high 60's but now that the weekend is here it's completely overcast foggy in the mornings even not very encouraging. I know I'm just whining here but I guess I just wanted to express these thoughts to the group and see if anyone knows what I mean.
I guess I just wanted to put that out there and get it off my chest. I feel a little better now.

You're on the wrong bit of our planet.  It's perfectly sunny and warm in Sydney and I had a very pleasant visit to River Island Nature Retreat a few days ago, where the weather was just fine too.
Tomorrow morning it will be o.k. to get up early because the clocks will be adjusted and the time difference between us and those who are heading towards winter will be greater.

I LOVE AUSTRALIA!!! I have been there twice so far, courtesy of the US Marine Corps. I have a cousin who immigrated to Australia back in the 1970's he is now a citizen and lives in Sydney. At times I would like to do the same thing. I know one thing if I were ever to move outside the US that would be the place to go. I think I might have to head down there again and give him a visit. Oh well enjoy the good weather.

Has anyone heard form Melisa lately? I was just thinking I had heard that she was in and out of the hospital a lot last year and I was wondering how she was doing?
