H-E-B open for business as competitors cower

I'm certainly no fan of H-E-B, but it's nice to see that they've been able to open so quickly after Hurricane Rita's undevastating non-impact:

Hey everyone - the HEB at Fry Road and I-10 is open. And they have gas! I didn't expect anything to be open. Everything else was closed. Except HEB! I bought milk and bread for the kids, beer for me, hamburger and hotdogs, we're set! I asked the checker how they opened so fast. Turns out this wasn't the local crew - HEB brought these people in from Uvalde, 250 miles to the west!

Still not going, though. I'll wait for Randalls to open up tomorrow morning.
