Well.

People seem to be already going nuts. They're lining up down the street to buy gas, waiting an hour or more to fill up the 25-odd 5-gallon tanks they had collecting dust in their sheds at $3.20 a gallon or more.

When, really, they only need to fill up their tank. Greedy bastards. Memphis is already expecting to be out by the end of this three-day weekend, and this kind of behavior will only make that happen faster. Just hope that any straggling New Orleans folk will have enough to get past Memphis, or else they're stuck.

Some extremely irresponsible police officers are telling everyone they know that the pumps are being shut down, on order of the city, at 5 PM. My next door neighbors came over at around 2 to tell us that their cousin in the MPD had told them to pass it on to "the right people."

I used to poo-poo people unilaterally bashing the MPD; I figured, they can't all be bad.

Since working at the law firm, however, I've seen a lot of officer-written citations, affidavits, accident reports and all that, and lemme tell ya: when I see them using the word "the" properly, I feel like I've just stumbled across one of the brighter of the bunch.

After my adventures with individual officers and 201 in general re: my camera seizure I can't imagine having any less respect for them.
