@Huntn00 I lived in far north Beaumont towards Lumberton and Vidor. Heat in the 90° was rough since it was also humid. I’d think all the trees and plants up that way would be way stressed. Is it possible there could be wildfires hazards there? Never heard of any about 35 years ago. But now?

@AlliFlowers Hey, at the rate things are going, it won't be long before being a teacher IS the crime. :)

Today I’m going for a background check and fingerprinting. Why? Because my teaching certification ran out two weeks ago. Might I have committed some heinous crime in those two weeks? What about during the 30+ years my original certification was valid? 🙄

Tuberville is still a racist piece of excrement. He’s too stupid to be a senator. https://www.al.com/politics/2023/07/tuberville-admits-white-nationalists-are-racist-as-mcconnell-britt-schumer-condemn-cnn-remarks.html

For the love of sanity! Please put a photo that has something to do with your post instead of something that has nothing whatsoever to do with what you have to say.
Harsh #Climate 2- An alarming report is that the Oceans are turning green (more plant matter growing) due to the rise of temps, sharks are reported as dying. Another report said that El Niño usually causes a reduction of Atlantic hurricane activity, but with oceans heating up, that may change. I never thought I would be living in such a transitional period for the Earth. We have been warned for 40 years, yet as a species, we just blunder along until we are smacked upside the head. 😬
Harsh #Climate 1- Since June we (East Texas) have been running mid 90s to low 100sF (32-40C) with with hear indexes about 110F, lows of 85F (29C) at night. A high pressure dome of heat parked over the Central US bringing no rain (at least to Texas) for several weeks and high temps. Comparing F to C. I prefer the spread of F over C, but consider I grew up with F. 🙂
A recent trip to Corpus Christi we saw large large fields of immature brown corn.

Missed this earlier this week; election reform by those who sought to overturn one: “House Republicans traveled to Georgia on Monday to reveal what they call the ‘most conservative election integrity bill to be seriously considered in the House in over 20 years.’ Four of the five Republicans on the House Administration Committee pushing the bill voted to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.”
Former Attorney General and Trump Fan Boy Bill Barr, said Donald Trump deserves to be prosecuted: “Trump is a "consummate narcissist" who puts his own interests before the country's”
