You're right, many people are worse off than I, and I am grateful, 
but I still don't understand why the mall was packed.  It was the 
same during the blizzard.  When the police tell you to stay off the 
roads unless an emergency, why do people risk life and limb (as well 
as thier children) to come to the mall?  And although we are this far 
north (Richmond) my supervisor was told that she will have power AND 
phone maybe by the end of the week and doesn't no when she"ll have 
drinking water.
