Long before climate was a widespread issue, I knew better than live in places like Florida or directly on coasts just because I saw too many storms on the news.

And Gov. Greg Abbott is calling a special session to shove vouchers down the throats of Texans.

Nothing but a giant looting of the state treasury.

Idle Thought: Yeah. Not into accounting as excitement, so now that Trump's gone ...

Idle Thought: Entropy sucks.

Idle Thought: There is, of course, a good reason humans have such a limited lifespan. There's just so much of this bulls**t a person can take. 😏
