I love texans...

From the NY Times:
The Texas state government has announced a phased return for the estimated 2.5 million Texans who fled their homes in advance of Hurricane Rita. Residents of the northwestern quadrant of Houston were allowed to return starting yesterday, but many people headed home regardless of the plan, which was aimed at avoiding the massive traffic backups and gridlock that marked the initial evacuation.

"Our people are tired of the state's plan!" complained County Judge John Willy, the top elected official in Brazoria County near the Gulf Coast south of Houston. "They have a plan, too, and it's real simple," he said in a statement posted on the county's Web site. "They plan to come home when they want."
