He let Blanko have it that night. I also remember having to wait to get a national guard escort to bring a trailer load of stuff to Bougalusa cause the good ole boys were hijacking trucks out in the piney woods.
Yes, I remember it like it was yesterday. Battery-operated radio. Gov. Blanco was asked why Bogalusa had not received any ice or even water... even though it looked like a bomb zone and she replied, "I think we should let Mississippi take care of their own." Is this unreal, or what?

Yep, they were hijackin' 18-wheelers with guns.

Yet, there was no damage.
