Curfew shmurfew, I need groceries
As far as I can tell, the curfew doesn't keep cars off the road, and doesn't keep gangs of kids from congregating either outside bars or on random neighborhood corners.
What it does do is make all the stores close at 8:00pm. Which sucks when you threw away everything in your fridge last week, the schools are opening tomorrow but are non-committal about cafeteria services, and you need to cobble together enough foodstuffs to make bag lunches for the kiddos.
Finally found some grape jelly at a Quicky Mart on Claiborne (paid through the bullet-proof glass), so that plus the leftover hurricane supplies ought to get us by for tomorrow. I suppose they won't be the only kids bringing canned fruit to school for dessert.
I feel SO much more secure knowing that my city government is keeping me safe from people who buy deli meats after dark.
