Public service announcement: The hurricane cone is NOT the cone of uncertainty. It is NOT the cone of impact. It merely depicts the area where the storm will be based upon historical error. An ensemble probability is a better approximation of the uncertainty

@tbrite89 @ZachCoveyTV NOAA is far more than the NWS. Could these cuts be related to counting fish?

@9lives2 we REALLY need spending cuts, however. Republicans likely will not vote to increase debt limit. Only thing we can do is massive spending cuts and tax increases

Watching Pebble Beach Do these players know how to play 7 in the wind? You CANNOT hit 9 iron or wedge with this wind? This is a 6 or 7 iron shot.

@9lives2 the question here is: Are the funds appropriated by Congress the minimum or maximum that can be spent by the president? Before ~1974, they were accepted to be the maximum. Since the ICA, our debt has exploded, risking our bankruptcy.

@anthonynoto @SoFi GUIDANCE This is not 1980. Under promising and over delivering does not deliver share holder return. Aim higher and set the company culture that good enough is not good enough

30 years ago today, the world was less than 2 minutes from a nuclear exchange By far the closest we ever came. Only time one of the nuclear briefcases has ever been activated. All over a damn launch toward the northern lights that looked like an SLBM

Travel tomorrow morning in the greater Houston/Pearland area will be treacherous. Roads will likely refreeze overnight, especially the side streets in neighborhoods. Use extreme caution if traveling to work tomorrow morning
