The question is, does it really change anything?

I wonder if Ukraine feels their plan to convince Russia to invade them and destroy their country so they could launder money is working? Ballsy strategy Cotton, let’s see if it pays off for them.

I believe it was the great Fletcher Reede, esq. who said…….. ”STOP BREAKING THE LAW ASSHOLES!”

I was thinking, as the community was prepping for this storm, about all this talk about how no one can afford groceries, bare essentials. I walked through the grocery store Wednesday getting some last minute snacks, and I took observation of the shopping carts. A whole lot of full shopping carts. And the very telling thing is they weren’t stuffed with water, toilet paper, canned goods, etc. All those things were readily available on the shelves, and most of the carts were filled with things like beer, wine, little Debbie’s….and a whole lot of non essentials. Brings to light those on TV and on Twitter screaming at us about what a horrible country we live in.

Turning out we got real lucky in my little section of the world. Some real carnage all around me, some historical situations. Town directly to my north saw its worst flooding ever. Islands to the south, west, and north all under water. Tornadoes to the east. Apparently even the east side of my city under water. All I ended up with is one section of fence blown out. We’ll be getting hands dirty around here for a little bit.

Thank you. Seeming to turn out we got pretty lucky right where I’m at. Kept falling in those little gaps you see in the circulation. Whole lot of flooding and tornadoes pretty close to me but we made out good in my neighborhood. Frankly, I’ll take it, haven’t been on the good side of luck when it comes to natural forces in a bit!

Center is a couple hours passed, but as you can see have a day or more of gusts and lots of rain ahead. Should make landfall in a couple hours just southeast of Florida State, going to cause a whole lot of problems, and on into Georgia. It’s going to wreak some havoc well past Atlanta, and broadened out. She is a doozy. It stayed far enough west it wasn’t too bad in my neighborhood but some areas around town got serious flooding and a couple tornadoes. Tornadoes still a watch through tomorrow night. Chillin with the pups and a glass of wine

I don’t have the units tied down but I just went out and weighted them down with cynder blocks, and the whole surface is surrounded to about waist high with concrete (docking and stacks of blocks). Should be okay. 11:00 run had another little bump to the east so we’re going to have some higher winds than expected yesterday. Downtown Fort Myers and fort Myers beach are getting some serious flooding.

So far this morning we are just in between bands, which is a good storm for 30-60 minutes, then clears up...rinse and repeat. Peak weather for me will be between 2-5pm. There have been a couple tornadoes in the area this morning and expecting some more. Decided yesterday to leave the bbq area in place, may end up regretting that decision....

According to Trump today, Ukraine isn't even a country anymore, doesn't exist, and its all Ukraine's fault....so good news, shouldn't have to go to WW3

Thanks Paul. Right now we are a little bit east of the center track. Close enough that we're going to get a good, long storm, (they are calling for the storm to be 400 miles wide by time it gets to our latitude) but far enough that we shouldn't get any major damage. Everyone around here on edge though because 1) flooding is big concern and 2) this storm's set up, timing, progress, and beginning tracks are all very similar to Ian a couple years ago. Was looking to hit the same area, at about the same distance out, but from this point kept ticking east. We went to bed, on Wednesday night, thinking it was going to land a couple hours north of us. Woke up to catch the 5am update and responded with "oh ***duck**". So a lot of people triggered around here. That said, where we are at we should be relatively okay. Storm surge to the north of us (Tampa area) I think is going to be the big thing to look out for. -

This is where these conversations get to the burn out point for me. At nowhere did I say anything about being okay with AOC, or anyone, censoring me or anyone else. I’ll leave it at what I said. Take it as you will. -

I say I don’t find certain lies, and certain people lying, unacceptable while being okay with others. I say I am against it all, and have no problem with lies that damage others being reigned it, as that is not an element of freedom. -

I don’t understand why anyone would be against reigning in misinformation. Freedom of speech does not include causing damage and consequences to others through lies. -
Neil DeGrasse, who....is a pretty smart guy.....has a pretty interesting (and funny) take on this whole thing.
