We will do this the old fashioned way. One side at a time.

I'm betting more oil and gas goes up in flames the next few weeks, They were trying to hold off to keep the prices down until the election. Not that it helped. He should have been toasting refineries from the start. With their new 1000K jet drone they have reach. (is it alright to write 1KK for...

I'm not a fan of us sending troops into theater. A few get killed and we are in a shooting war with Iran. Which I think is what Bebe wants anyway.

Not just women, but babies too. Texas had an eight percent increase in infant mortality it's first year after their ban went into effect. With a 14 percent increase in deaths due to birth defects.

I've been meaning to mention this for a week, but keep forgetting. Cousin John spent 20-25 years on the kidney wait list. He couldn't be more than two hours from a big hospital during that time. So when his sister moved up here a few years he had to stay down south. He moved up here when he aged...

This is uncharted territory as far as storms go. I'm an hour inland and Michael still had 130mph winds when she came by the Sandhill. I'm done with work (for now anyway). I'm only 63 but these days my main job is being my wife's caregiver. I don't grow enough to worry about selling. Although...

Me too. I have a genetic disorder that causes me great pain to spend money, and it always flared up when I even thought about buying coke.

Like budman said, it's heading west and getting weaker. Lots of shear in it's future. This is the first year since Michael that we have had any serious threat of tropical weather at my end of the state, and really none of them were close enough to do any damage. My biggest fear is a flood...

It rained on the Sandhill. Almost a tenth.

I watched some of the Ryan Hall Y'all live stream of that outbreak. There was some bad ones.

Lots of the dead in the Spanish floods were going into basement parking garages trying to save their cars. Also most said they didn't get alarms on their phones until the flooding was already happening. And now everyone is pissed at the government for slow response on rescue and relief work.

The locals call this kind of storm a cold drop because of cold air over warm air. And heavy rains from cold drops are usual for this time of year. But not 14 inches in a few hours. The Saipan stopped in Valencia during our 1981-82 Med Cruise. It was winter, so off season for the beaches, but a...
