An oddity from the news of yesterday...
A Texas town had the good fortune to have the US Navy offer to store its vulnerable emergency equipment on board a ship tied up near the town. After all, if their fire engines and ambulances were under water, they would be destroyed and useless. But after the hurricane had passed, the Navy wouldn't release the equipment unless the mayor came down to the ship and approved it. And if the mayor had died in the storm? Would the Navy require that a special election be held to elect a new mayor before releasing the equipment? Just wondering...
