Sandbags at the Civic Center

I just got back from the Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center.  I wanted to get 6 sandbags for my door and ended up filling over 50.  There's still a lot of sand there, and no shortage of bags.  The problem is, there's a lot of what I'm assuming is single women out there trying to fill and load sandbags by themselves.  This is just wrong to me, so I did what I could until I couldn't go anymore.  I was filling, all they had to do was hold and tie the bag.

Guys, if you're done with your preparations, and you are an able-bodied person, do yourself and your neighbors a favor and head to your closest sandbag location and help people out.  I helped a 57 year old woman who was trying to fill and load sandbags by herself.  There is ABSOLUTLY NO REASON for a 57 year old woman to have to do that herself.  Get off your butt, bring a radio so you can listen to the LSU game, and go be a productive member of society.  I know I'll be going back after a little rest.  And don't forget to bring a shovel with you.  The parish does NOT supply shovels for you.
