Melynda is stuck on traffic on the highway in Houston. I hope that tank of gas lasts.
You would think from the crack ass insanity out there that the bloody storm is going to hopscotch right onto Austin. Everyone's out there buying up all the peanut butter and causing lines for gas in a panic. I don't think anyone realizes that if they didn't engage in this panicky sort of buying, we wouldn't see as much price gouging and empty shelves.
Yes, bad storm. Evacuate the coast. All that stuff is good. But come on people. If you're hundreds of miles away, I somehow doubt the ocean will get us. Maybe we'll get lucky and have some nice thunderstorms, knock out the power for twelve hours, get to eat peanut butter sandwiches.
I could just really do without the hysteria and fear mongering.
Now on the other hand, work is swamped trying to evacuate foster kids and APS clients. That we need to worry about.
