Speaking of Darwin...

Taken from WTOP online news regarding Ike and refusals to obey mandatory evacuation orders among Texan costal residents:

In Surfside Beach, retired carpenter and former Marine Ray Wilkinson became something of a celebrity for a day: He was the lone resident in the town of 805 to defy the order to leave. Authorities found him Saturday morning, drunk.

"I consider myself to be stupid," Wilkinson, 67, said through a thick, tobacco-stained beard. "I'm just tired of running from these things. If it's going to get you, it's going to get you."

He added: "I didn't say I had all my marbles, OK?"

Now doesn't THAT just about say it all?

  1. It does sound like he was a few marbles short - and yet he survived!
