TOP TEN WORST THINGS ABOUT
EVACUATING FOR A HURRICANE
10. Fear
9. Anxiety
8. Depression
7. Weight gain (3.5 pounds and counting–in just one week!)
6. Evacuation traffic
5. Re-vacuation traffic
4. Having to see/hear our numbskull mayor hold forth on TV, radio, and the interweb for days on end
3. TIE: The mind-numbing stretch of I-65 between Montgomery and Mobile; also, the mind-numbing stretch of I-49 between Alexandria and Shreveport
2. Having no food in the fridge when you get back (’cause you remember Katrina and cleaned everything outta there before you left town)
1. Not really being able to unpack until November 1
