    I selected on Monday and pretty much the entire lower West side was red/selected.  We are already close to the 50 and under the shade of the upper deck so we're happy but had hoped to move up a few rows but no joy.  I had been toying with the idea of the Centennial Club because my wife has trouble with the heat but our donation level doesn't get us there because so few seats free up there each year.  LHF advised me to make a 1-time $25,000 donation to jump up to Date 1 selection to get a shot.  Yikes.

    They advised me the same. I said no, but maybe I should have?

    DA here is a joke, there was a band playing after the parade that is known to have a lot of nefarious followers and yet they were booked anyway. 

    What the fuck does a band being booked have to do with the DA?

    I was able to get Brazos on Tuesday morning slot 10AM.  used to be able to get San Jac as my seats are on the northeast side but no longer.  Brazos garage seems OK for exit.  not sure if it is bigger or smaller than Trinity but you aren't involved in the clusterfuck  with Trinity/MLK and crowds crossing the street from the game to get to scholz garten/tailgates.

    I wanted to try to upgrade to Terrace Club seats but none available.  anyone else get into Terrace Club that didn't have them last year?

    I also wanted to get into any of the premium seating. Donated pretty aggressively (or so I thought) to get into a better timeslot (yesterday at 11:15 was where I ended up, so not great, Bob). 

    Long story short, every single premium seat was taken by my timeslot. I was able to move down to better seats in the lower deck, but disappointed to say the least.

    Went ahead and chose my seats today during my assigned times slot.  Kept the same ones as last year.  What surprised me is how bad the parking selection was.  Anybody get anything better than Trinity garage that chose today (Wednesday)?  Kind of thought I had a shot at LBJ lots or San Jacinto garage.

    If you pay me half of what the Foundation charges for parking, I'll let you in on a parking lot that is less expensive and closer than the Trinity Garage that you can pay to park on gamedays.

    Hotter temperatures, more wildfires


    The report states that the average annual surface temperature in Texas in 2036 is expected to be 3 degrees warmer than the 1950-1999 average and 1.8 degrees warmer than the 1991-2020 average. This would make a typical year around 2036 warmer than all but the warmest year experienced in Texas from 1895-2020.

    In that same vein, the number of 100-degree days is expected to quadruple by 2036 compared to the 1970s and 1980s, with more 100-degree days expected in cities. The report found that extreme monthly summertime temperature trends imply an increase of about 2 degrees over the past 50 years. 

    The coolest days of the summer are also expected to continue getting warmer.

    What do these trends indicate for future wildfire seasons? Nothing good. The report said overall, the area of the state commonly impacted by wildfires may expand eastward. At the same time, higher temperatures will likely allow very dry conditions to develop earlier in the year, extending both the spring and summer wildfire seasons.

     

    Anticipated increasing temperatures also apply to the winter. Researchers found that extreme monthly wintertime temperatures are expected to continue to warm at an even faster rate. That means typical wintertime extremes by 2036 are expected to be milder than most of the winter extremes in the state's historic record.

    I'm fucking out, man. Tell Colorado they're getting another Texpat.

    He's better than Don Zimmerman.  Have no idea who the other guy is, to be fair.  

    If the "other guy" is Jett Hanna, he's legit. He was a higher up with Texas Legal Insurance Exchange (maybe still is), which is a non-profit insurance entity for professional liability insurance that seems really well run (I am a member for the last 15 years, get dividends each year). I trust him with numbers, and to not try to impose some sort of agenda.
