2. That reporter I think is the one who dressed-down the Repub. Governor - Wayne Dolcefino?

I think that's the same guy, as I remember his first name was Wayne. He was on the internet
yesterday who called out the Governor for all the secrecy and limited access to the Bolivar area.

It's cool to see he got the access he was so elequently demanding. Good for him.

5. If a picture is worth a thousand words.

The video was worth 10,000.

7. Yes, it was indeed a thing of beauty. One lone reporter stands up, blowing the lid off the cover-up.

and the next day getting his access to report on the "off-limits" areas.

ahhh. if only more of the news read this way.

9. Heard from my former co-worker's Mom

Turns out that FCW didn't go to Galveston after all - her dad's surgery had been canceled when it looked like Ike was going to hit Texas. FCW's Mom and Dad evacuated to Houston. Wherever they were, they had electricity and phone service. She called my office's number because she couldn't remember her daughter's new one (she just left our office two weeks ago).

Still haven't heard from my college friend yet.
