    It was the coldest January in Austin in 17 years

    This is true for Camp Mabry weather station KATT.  For Austin-Bergstrom International Airport weather station KAUS, January 2015 was technically colder.  587.5 HDD in January 2015 vs 582 HDD in January 2024.

    Question regarding the talk of aid package to Israel. Um, for what? 

    I understand Ukraine having to fight back against a massively larger aggressor. That makes sense to me. Russia has tanks, you better get some weapons to blow up tanks.

    Israel is fighting a much smaller entity and has for decades prepared and known the risk of war on its doorstep. What exactly do they need aid for? 

    This is the thought that keeps coming up when I hear about the House needing to open so it can pass an aid package for Israel.  Uh what is the rush to send them aid?  The Executive has already signaled broad diplomatic support.
