Forrest Gump could have thought this through better than Nagan and Blanco. This is just beyond tragic that these people died because of stupidity and vane pride.
Vain =vane
Friends of ours stopped over Saturday afternoon, conversation quickly digressed to rants over the administration in NO/LA. I had totally forgotten this.
Prior to Floyd or Fran, we too had folks who weren't moving fast enough. Administration in this part of the country got on the tube and told folks, "If you want to stay, fine. Just get a permanent marker, write your name on your forearm, write your NOK below your name so we can identify the body."
Problem solved, evacuation went rather smoothly.
