Our friends' daughter just started as a freshman at Rice, and is pretty wigged out tonight. Thursday/Friday classes are cancelled, faculty and half the student body has bailed, and the little California girl is feeling rather lost.

She's on campus in a now lightly-populated dorm and just walked to a Walgreens to pick up some grub to sit out the long weekend....looks like there's not much choice for the poor kid.

Campus "security" assures the parents they won't pull a 'New Orleans Police' gig.

The airport's still open, flights out are still fairly cheap.
