TexTech Free

First off, my screen name. I am a Texan working in a technical field. I did NOT attend Texas Tech. I went to a real university in Texas. Born and grew up in Houston, then spent about 24 years in Austin, back to Houston, and then in Indiana, first time to live outside of Texas. Back to Austin ten years and now 26 months (as of late August, 2021) in Miami, FL. Work keeps me moving around. I am now on my way to North Carolina. While only living in three states, I have passed through or visited 35-40 of the lower 48 states. I have missed the Big Sky country (Dakotas, Wyoming, Montana) and upper New England states. As should be obvious from my comments, I am a yellow dog Democrat with views on social justice based on the teachings of all the great religious teachers. I love music of most types. Not opera. I can tolerate some C&W. Have heard very little rap I can tolerate. My music is traditional Blues and 60s-70s rock. Also like classical and easy listening.

    Neither do baseball players which this strip happens to be referencing.

    And there you go showing the great misunderstanding that so many climate change deniers have. You are talking about weather which happens in days and even hours while we are talking about climate which happens over decades and centuries.

    I noticed that you cherry-picked only one statistic from your Austailian source. Here is another statement from one of their press releases that came out with their annual Condition of the Great Barrier Reef report:

    “Climate change remains the greatest threat to the Reef because it drives these mass bleaching events. This most recent one was the fifth such event since 2016. These more frequent and extensive marine heatwaves will lead to shortened ‘windows’ for coral recovery. Recent gains, while encouraging, can be lost in a short amount of time,” Dr Emslie said.

    The source you cite to say climate change is a hoax acutally says they believe it is a very real threat to the GBR. Thanks for directing me to your source that actually disproves your point.

    Yeah, a trial ballon that was very quickly punctured and deflated.

    Oh I agree completely. CEOs are paid too much but these athletes are paid waaaay too much. I would call it extortion but the teams willingly pay these exorbitant sums to adults for playing a child’s game.

    This attempt is not risking his life. The relationship maybe but not his life.

    Hmmm. Pretty much two days until Christmas Eve night. Should be nice and stale by then. Not nice, Garfield.

    And we think corporate CEOs are paid too much!

    This guy is a way down the food chain claims adjuster, not the CEO.

    I doubt the team owners are getting tired since ovreall WNBA attendance has been up everywhere. And especially the team owners that have had to move their games to bigger venues when Indiana comes to town.
