DOLLY MANIA DAY 2

Well, the local media is really hyping this thing up as expected. They do admit from time to time that all indications are that this thing will go several hundred miles south of us, but then come out with the uncertainties about their forecasts and how these things are unpredictable and can change on a dime, blah, blah, blah. Year in and year out, all summer long, they can't wait to start hyping hurricane season. Most people that I know who evacuated for Rita (I stayed here) tell me that they have no intention of leaving again, no matter what the risk. You can only cry "wolf" so many times and people finally quit listening. Now it's sort of like "Dolly to kill us all one hour from now, but first, here's Blondie Bigboobs with the traffic." Pathetic, and getting worse. I believe the press is a greater risk than any of the hurricanes. More later.
