  1. Cuban hispanic vs non-cuban latin american hispanic. That weird dance with the Castro factor affects everything. The over-arching blend of family still in Cuba, Communist regime, economic embargo, bad Cuban policy hits home with them.
  2. I'm surprised he wasn't in dress socks, pants around his ankles, reclined in a papasan, Jerry Falwell Jr. style.
  3. There are a lot of folks betting with their hearts and not their brains on predictit. haha, And I'm pronouncing it: "Pree-dick-tit," which makes me giggle like Beavis and Butthead.
  4. Wait, so he actually does everything he says Biden WILL do?
  5. Interesting visualization: https://dangoodspeed.com/covid/total-cases-since-june
  6. https://nypost.com/2020/10/16/plane-passenger-caught-smuggling-gold-in-rectum-to-avoid-taxes/
  7. Very similar (but fewer disingenuous smiles) to the conservative takeover (and Baptist civil war)of the Southern Baptist Convention. As odd as the Baylor folks are, their tight network of alumni kept the state baptist convention in Texas from being taken over, like in most other states.
  8. I know one research project that just went into the field at the first of the month in the Lake Charles area, to study how hurricane risk perceptions and responses were affected on an individual scale by risk perceptions and responses to COVID-19. Hurricane Delta threw a huge monkey wrench into that whole research project, so they're trying to amend the project to account for potential differences in the perception and response between both storms.
  9. In Tulsa, the humidity was high enough over a month of winter non-use to deteriorate the pellets in my Traeger hopper and congeal the dust in the auger, jamming it. It's pretty easy to disassemble, and clear the jam, and it's fine now. However, if I expect a period of idleness, I'll remove the pellets from the hopper and store in a freezer ziploc bag (and run the auger long enough to clear the tube (and wet/dry vac the little smoke pot). I buy the pellets by the bag from Amazon (full wood), and store in a plastic Kingsford charcoal container. One for mesquite, one for hickory, one for pecan
  10. This right here. Same. Sadly, there's a shit ton more rural red on my side of the Red River though. You may have seen them at WalMart.
  11. More on the Wichita arrest: https://www.kansas.com/news/politics-government/article246513655.html
  12. Ballot dropped off at Tulsa County Election Board.
  13. NOAA's coastal inundation dashboard is here: https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/inundationdb/storm/Laura.html?fbclid=IwAR2b-QVg4GX7kzqvxP6qhWptOrnX8dd9XCZaTNavgo2PJEoa1nNnif1CzaE
  14. 60 miles S of the coast, moving NW. Last recon pass still showing dropping pressure.
  15. Center of eye is now 118 miles SE of Lake Charles. A slight uptick in non-favorable shear will be encountered closer to landfall, and eyewall replacement cycles will likely mean some intensity pulsing up and down until landfall.
  16. Most (but not all) of the catastrophic inundation is going to be E of the Sabine. Cameron Parish is forecast to be 95% under 9'+ of inundation. There are some people in three or four small communities there. Lake Charles is probably going to be 50-75% inundated.
