The WWL anchors are talking about the inevitable PTSD that will result from people being unable to get back into the city.
um.
You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I think Amy called that one right. The timeline is a little confusing, especially since I imagine the balance of the season is supposed to be the 30 days prior to execution.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
This weekend? I asked a girl out, and she said yes.
YAY Tom! That is awesome news!
Dana, your family is in my thoughts. I hope you're able to get in touch with them soon.

Also, what exactly does it mean that certain sections of the city are under martial law?

Amy, how do you know it's not once a day? I'll have to rewatch, but my impression from some line of dialogue when he asked if he could take some needles with him was that he would have to come by every day.

They said that anyone out on the street would be arrested. I haven't heard any new information about looting, but I'm sure it's a problem.

Silence means security silence means approval
The phones seem to still be out in Jackson. I haven't been able to get in touch with my parents.
I have friends in/near Jackson, and they haven't had power since about 11am yesterday.
Another friend down near Mobile passes along this piece of info: There's a row of antebellum houses in Biloxi which survived Camille despite most everything else in town getting damaged/flattened. Today, they're gone. Just foundations.

Looters will be shot.
Pet peeve: I saw a website saying a parish was under "marshal law." Grr.

Heh. Walker, NOLA Ranger.
t edit Though that would, actually, be *marshall* law.
t edit again Well, I don't know if Walker, Texas Ranger, is actually a Marshall -- I was just riffing.

Because books.
Wolfram, maybe you're right, but my impression was that he wasn't there every day. Especially since she was confused by his blood sugar levels -- for one, they should be checking that four times a day, or at least once, for someone on insulin, because severe hypoglycemia can lead to lots of complications -- I thought she would have been checking more carefully, and more quickly. But, as bon said, maybe they simply didn't make the timeline clear. My impression, though, was that when he asked the drug-getting prisoner for the insulin blocker, he said he needed it in a couple of days. And it took at least a couple of days for him to get it. In the meantime, why hadn't she checked his sugar again? I know I'm being picky, but if they're going to wank this particular issue, for me at least, they need to be a little more careful with the way they present it.
