Here’s a Handy Guide for Determining Hurricane Categories
Very useful when a certain someone is not familiar with hurricane categories:
On a Personal Note
I would just like to say —
Justin Verlander pitched his 3rd no hitter last night. And a big high-five to rookie Abraham Toro, who not only hit the winning two run homer, but also played third base like his name was on it. It was only his 8th major league game and he was not scheduled to start until an hour before the game.
I will be at the game Thursday night to welcome the boys back to town. I just love this game.
Go! Pray! Texas!
Please meet Texas State Representative Matt Schaefer. He put the nuts in gun nuts.
Following the latest mass killing in Texas by a young white male, Schaefer took to Twitter in an attempt to top Trump in the wacky twitter wars.
‘Do something!’ is the statement we keep hearing. As an elected official with a vote in Austin, let me tell you what I am NOT going to do. I am NOT going to use the evil acts of a handful of people to diminish the God-given rights of my fellow Texans. Period. None of these so-called gun-control solutions will work to stop a person with evil intent.”
Schaefer says NO to background checks, No to banning AR-15s, NO to banning high-capacity magazines, NO to mandatory gun buybacks.
Why the hell are we paying this guy money to be a state rep. when all we need to do to fix things is pray. I tell ya what – pay me his salary plus the cost of keeping him in the Lege and I’ll pray.
Matt Schaefer lives in East Texas and is pretty much in-training for Louie Gohmert’s job when Louie retires.
Thank a Union
I know there’s a hurricane on the east coast, a horrible boat fire on the west coast, and a batcrap crazy guy in the White House but take a few minutes to celebrate those who made America strong …
Trump Doesn’t Know What Category 5 Means
Trump was Trump today, attending a FEMA briefing on Hurricane Dorian which was upgraded to Category 5 today. The President was confused by the term “Category 5” saying,
“I’m not sure that I’ve ever even heard of a Category Five. I’ve seen some Category Fours, you don’t even see them that much. But a Category Five is something that, I don’t know that I’ve ever even heard the term, other than I know it’s there. That’s the ultimate and that’s what we have, unfortunately.”
So, the “very stable genius”, who knows more than any expert about the Middle East, the military, warfare, technology, trade, real estate, and finance has never heard of a Category 5 hurricane. For context, the US has been hit by THREE Category 4 hurricanes since Trump was inaugurated, Irma and Maria in 2017, and Michael in 2018.
Trump is truly just an ignoramus. He doesn’t read; he has no knowledge of science or history; he couldn’t care less about society and contributing to that society. He is totally self absorbed, consumed and needy of adulation. Everything else is peripheral and irrelevant.
Unbelievable.
The Future of Tennis…
I don’t know if any of you are interested in or follow tennis, but there is a serious changing of the guard happening right now. I personally started playing tennis over 50 years ago and still play today. I follow professional tennis closely and love the grand slam events. This year is a seismic shift in the sport with both young women and men rising and challenging the pillars of the sport. The new guard in women’s tennis burst onto the scene last year when 20 year old Naomi Osaka defeated Serena Williams last year for the US Open championship. It continued this year when 15 year old Coco Gauff defeated Venus Williams in the first round of Wimbledon, reaching the third round before she was defeated by eventual tournament champion, Simona Halep.
Tonight, Coco and Naomi met in the third round of the US Open in NY, and Naomi won decisively in straight sets to move on to the round of 16; while important, that was not as significant as what happened after the match was over. I let you see it for yourself first:
What we are seeing is a changing of the guard in tennis, and it seems it is in good hands. This new generation is setting an example for all, and this old tennis player loves it.
