Family vacation

Posted on October 29, 2021 | Comments Off on Family vacation

Bar’s idea is to take our two adult children and go spend a few days at a Texas vacation spot. I’m for either the beach at Port Aransas, or McDonald Observatory in the Davis Mountains of West Texas. I’m figuring the “kids” will opt for the beach around Labor Day. Make it a two-fer year, 2022, with a March train trip to Sedona for just us. Or take them to Sedona on the train. We’ll see.

Winter is coming

And for those who use propane for heating, prices have already hit the highest level since 2011—$2.59 a gallon.

Not that we here at the mini-rancho use propane. Neely’s Canyon is all-electric, vulnerable only to frozen windmills and other Biden/Green niceties. Fighting climate change ain’t gonna be fun folks. Or cheap.

Let’s Go, Brandon is cute. A hail of snowballs should greet him now and then as well. What a maroon!

Refund the police

Posted on October 27, 2021 | 3 comments

Give back the one-third of their budget the progressive Dimocrat (and one self-proclaimed communist) Austin city council took away? Well, it’s on the ballot anyway. Enough alarm about rising violent crimes got it there by petition. Whether it will pass is anybody’s guess.

There’s no question that the Austin police had a reputation for killing while arresting. So if they get their money back, we’ll have to see if they’ve learned anything. If it’s back to shoot-first policing, the defunders will be back in business. Just sayin’

UPDATE: Fortunately, Antifa and BLM never got a foothold here and, so far, they haven’t turned Austin into shithole Portland.

MORE: The restoration failed, big time.

The Wind Power Shuck

Posted on October 26, 2021 | Comments Off on The Wind Power Shuck

Dick Stanley's avatarTHE TEXAS SCRIBBLER

Barry and his party would have us believe they can tax coal power plants out of business and we’ll all get by on wind and solar power. Uh, huh. Except for people in the snow belt:

“Minnesota invested itself in alternative energy sources years ago, and so the revelation that the state spent $3.3 million on eleven wind turbines hardly qualifies as news. However, the fact that they don’t work in cold weather does.”

Well, the state can always sue the manufacturer. Hee. And Minnesotans can be thankful they still have coal-power electricity to keep them warm. So far, anyhow.

Unreliable wind energy

Posted on October 26, 2021 | Comments Off on Unreliable wind energy

“The irony is that Texas leads the nation on Wind power penetration into its grid. Texas has over 25 GW nameplate of installed wind turbine farms, next closest is Iowa with 8.5 GW nameplate, followed closely by Oklahoma.
https://www.power-technology.com/features/us-wind-energy-by-state/

“The February grid crisis fiasco was direct result of those dumb unreliable wind energy policies and not enough investment in reliable electricity from natural gas and nuclear.”

Lots of us are fearful of the windmills freezing up again this winter and plunging us into the dark. Again. Without heat or light. Idiots.
