    1. Hey snowpoint, so I remember that the US model had Harvey hanging around for a week, and the Euro had it moving after two days, which one is looking more likely now?

  2. We got a couple of brief showers from rain bands and are all ready for it. Good excuse to gather up all the junk lying around on the farm.

  3. Ugh, trump signed the transgender military ban and pardoned Joe Arpaio behind the smokescreen of everyone watching the hurricane.

    1. They're intent on doing as much damage as they can, while they can. My hope is for some future sane government to disentangle whatever wreckage they can.

          1. Oh, I'm sure we'll still exist. Whether we'll have anything resembling a democracy is up for debate.
