My previous letter of "Catching By The Rain" written on 11 April 2008 at 9:51 Western Indonesia Time seems to have some significant impact that reflected by some responses, either directly or not, seemingly to remind me about how serious is the problem. Therefore I should be in the position of "no room for mistakes", or otherwise it could endangering others.  

 Yahoo News Photos posted two pictures of the Army Corps of Engineers personnel work in opening the Bonnet Carre Spillway in Norco, La., Friday, April 11, 2008. The spillway is located 30 miles above New Orleans. The photos were posted on Friday 11 April 2008 at 3:27 PM ET, US Eastern Time, or it was a few hours after my letter. It was like to remind me not to do the same mistake that might have triggered the disaster of New Orleans drowned in 2005.

Then on 14 April 2008, U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Mike Leavitt visited Indonesia to meet with president SBY. The last name of Mr. Mike Leavitt reminds me with the English word "levee" which were breached by the flood during hurricane Katrina in 2005 that drowned the city of New Orleans.

Another important visit to president SBY took place on the same day I wrote my letter of "Catching By The Rain", and it was the visit of Admiral Timothy Keating, the Commander of U.S. Pacific Command. The importance for me is in his name. His first name sounds like the name of a son of my friend Herry Latief, a friend of mine I mentioned in my letter of "Stock Crash and Car Crash From 8th Floor Cancelled My Watching Sarah Azhari".

While his last name reminds me with the name of Australian PM who took office from 20 December 1991 to 11 March 1996, Prime Minister Paul Keating, whose wife name is Annita Keating, a name that sounds like my neighbor Anita, the girl I mentioned in the opening of these letters.

I think the overall message is for me to be careful with my "Wish For Strange But Not Dangerous Momentous Occasion", not to turn it into a dangerous occasion.

Thank's,
