Oh no, I was just joking about Harrigan. I see you know that :) I loved watching every minute he filmed with the Northern Alliance when we went into Afghanistan. He's really one brave dude!
On another note, our town is full with evacuees now. It's heartbreaking to see so many families with no place to go but the shelter. So many had been on the road for anywhere from 12 to 20+ hours mostly depending on when they left. Wild stories about fights on the road along with many heroes helping each other out as well. There are now no gas cans left in any store. People are afraid they will not have enough gas to get home when they can leave.
We tried to help as many as we could. Some didn't want the shelter so we called every hotel that we had in our books and were able to get some lucky cancellations for a few people. It's been an amazing three days, I'm worn out.

In case anyone is interested in the good, bad and ugly.
