Hey Caye Bwai: What's new with you these days? You still modeling your way around the world? The report came direct from Orange Walk. Not sure how many fatalities.

Keep helping. That's all we can do right now.

Hey IG.. yeah.. I was supposed to be in San Diego as we speak but I put it on hold so that I could help my cousins Vicki Arceo & Lisa Forman get their stuff together to go to Houston and meet Charles where they will start shipping supplies to Belize.

The OW situation is very distressing and I would have thought that they would have schools closed for a week or so considering the gravity, but I guess they're not taking it that serious ;(.
