Damn it, we can't nuke hurricanes and now we can't even nuke climate change.
The problem? US electric production is only responsible for about a quarter of US greenhouse gas emissions. Even if we went all-in on nuclear, hydropower and other renewables we'd have a lot of carbon left over in transportation, agriculture, industry, and residential/commercial. Electric heat for buildings and electric cars could shift some of the load but I don't think people will be putting nuclear powered steam generators in Manhattan to heat office buildings. Maybe!
MM, yes, NASCAR is shuffling their schedule. The Daytona race that’s usually Independence Day weekend is being moved to September to make it more relevant to the NASCAR “playoffs”.
(FYI, it was never run Labor Day weekend. The Southern 500 is a NASCAR Labor Day weekend tradition.)

Goodell should investigate Belichick's moves to deflate the Pats' odds to win another Super Bowl! It's AB/Tankgate!

I have run across several posts of leftists who want to demonstrate and shut down Trump's New Mexico rally.
I already have seen one person on Twitter who says he won't go because his son wanted to go and he doesn't want him to get hurt.
In my opinion, they are trying to depress his crowds, which normally are at capacity at every venue he visits.

Posted by: anonamom | September 08, 2019 at 05:22 PM
You got to feel sorry for a small market team like the Jags who were pre-season favorites to make it to the super bowl with Nick Foles as QB and a top defense. Then in the first game, Foles breaks his clavicle, and you know the rest of the story. Mahomes makes them pay.
It really is surprising how Brady has stayed so healthy. BB understands that you need above all to protect your no. 1 asset and have a threatening running game to keep everyone honest. Why the other coaches think a QB and fast WR's will win has always escaped me.
Posted by: Jim Eagle | September 08, 2019 at 05:24 PM
anonamom,
Mrs. JiB's family recipe:
Cut up 4 leeks, 2 carrots, 2 shallots, and 1/4 of celery root (not necessary). Melt 3 tsps of butter in a dutch oven. Add the mixture above. Then add 4 cups of fish broth (either homemade or store-bought) and a cup of white wine. Add some thyme, a bay leaf, some threads of saffron. Mix up 3 egg yolks and 1 1/4 cups heavy cream. Add some of the broth to easy it in and then add it to the broth mixture. Let it simmer until ready. A nice fresh baguette goes well with it.
Smaak lekker!
Posted by: Jim Eagle | September 08, 2019 at 05:33 PM
...Did I forget the fish? Of course i did. Chop up 2 lbs of cod or turbot or Hallock into 1 inch pieces. Add it to the broth before adding the egg/cream mixture. Cook about 10 minutes (poaching) then remove the fish and add the cream mixture. Whisk it all in, then re-add the fish. Cook on low until ready to devour.
Posted by: Jim Eagle | September 08, 2019 at 05:36 PM
Thanks JiB Sounds even better than what I found online!
I'm recording it on one of my recipe cards right now!

The ones with pictures or videos, the only thing I can advise is to NOT scroll past the end of the video or picture. That way you can avoid the vile leftists.
