want to do something to help SoCal?

Give blood. There's a huge demand for plasma for burn victims, which is going to drain (pun unintentional, I swear) every other part of the country's supplies.

So if you can, give. If you can't, offer to drive someone who can. Or see if there's a local blood drive that needs volunteers.

And if you can't volunteer, put a few dollars in the kitty to pay for siphoning/shipping the blood...
