I think we should shorten the hurricane season. The way it is, we're just leaving ourselves too vulnerable. Discuss.

I have wondered about dropping massive amounts of dry ice into the gulf that way it'll cool the waters and hurricanes won't get as strong..

Imagine being in Galveston back in 1900 when that big one hit. No weather reports. Nothing but a goddamn farmers almanac. Guys probably looking outside and saying, "Man, looks like it might rain tonight".

The chic governor in Louisiaunaouina has already asked the President to declare her state a disaster zone from Rita. Five fucking days early. Last time she waited until like five days after the storm, this time they don't even know if it will hit her state.
She should just ask for it to be a permanent disaster zone so she doesn't have to figure out when to call.

in fact, before the galveston disaster, there was a meteorologist who saw it ocming
he told everyone not to worry, it was no big deal
true story, there is a book about it
I realise that I have a past to break with--an accumulation of inertia, wrong, foolishness, rot, junk. A great need of clarification, of mindfulness, or rather, of no mind. A need to return to genuine practice, right effort. Need to push on the great doubt. Need for the spirit. Hang on to the clear light.
