Black people “Loot”.
White people “Find”.
City Officials “Empty”.
City officials were taking advantage of the state of emergency to empty an Office Depot, which already had been looted, of supplies they needed for a temporary command center. During a state of emergency, authorities have broad powers to take private supplies and buildings for their use.

Whitest Guy in Kauai
Just back from a mammoth holiday. Michigan, then Ohio, then San Francisco, then a big chunk in gorgeous Kauai, where I spent a lot of time swimming with the fishes. Went for a thrilling helicopter ride, where I kept hearing Ride of the Valkyries in my head for some reason.
I did spot a new fish I hadn’t seen before: Coris flavovittata (Yellowstripe Coris), a juvenile female elongated “slender wrasse“.
Delicious “Eaten raw, dried and salted, baked or broiled“, apparently.
Gallery!
Wanted some photo albums. Went into total geek mode and installed Gallery, which required the latest Apache2, MySQL, PHP, and a bunch of other nerd utils. To get the damn thing working, I had to go install CygWin, to run CVS, to grab some latest builds. Apparently some people have managed to get it working with IIS 6, but I could not, despite hours of tinkering. And the performance of Apache2 on Windows seems a lot more sluggish than IIS 6. I suspect some Microsoft sabotage effort here.
