I luv u, doc, but the prom committee’s motto is: <br><br>“When the house is on fire, it is time to get out of the burning house.”<br><br>I really need to find that parable to post for you guys…<br><br>We can iron out the details later, but I can’t buy that we can invent (discover?) nano-technology, but we can’t get evacuation of Houston right. Doesn’t make sense to me. How long have Houston citizen-taxpayers been providing city planners with a job?<br><br>Moving on, TV on, and I see shots of lines of traffic, but I never see a shot of the BEGINNINGS of the lines. Staying with my line of thinking, why doesn’t a helicopter or two follow the line of traffic to wherever the bottleneck starts…it has to start somewhere…somewhere in front of all that traffic is a place where the traffic is flowing freely, isn’t there?…and can’t some good old-fashioned traffic cops get that snarl unblocked? In time to get movers cleared out and some gas to those already run out?<br><br>I haven’t had the tv on for long. But I suspect that the side of the road has become everyone’s, er, um, privy, in that traffic? And what if you didn’t bring enough water to drink? (maybe they anticipated anyway, but for this long?)<br><br>And fema guy says yes it's frustrating, but we’ve got a whole day yet. Let’s see…24 hours at 4 or 5 mph gets you………….<br> <p></p><i></i>
