It's Freezing Down In Texas

 All the power lines are down. Or froze. Or just hanging in space limp and without juice. You know, electrical juice? Water pipes are busting out all over and there's icicles hanging off the ceiling fan that used to work but now on account of there's no electricity, the dang fan won't. Won't work. Roads are impassable and covered in ice. Yes people, that is the Texas of today. Yesterday and probably tomorrow. Of course the icy grip on the old Texas panhandle and elsewhere will pass into the record books and then the weather will turn off hot and hot as in Texas hot. Welcome to the new normal loving referred to as 'climate change'. Of course Texas Governor 'Wheels' Abbott is in complete denial over just about all of the ills facing Texans at present. The winter freeze strangling Texas and according to Abbott, its those dang wind farms and solar energy. Of course Texas gets very little of its energy from wind farms and solar generation. 'Wheels' should be removed from the Texas Governor Office for the simple reason that Abbott allowed Texas to be woefully unprepared for the disasters that are the NEW normal. All the Texas petroleum providers are simply stupefied that they couldn't provide for Texas residents and damn doesn't that just about suck. For the Texans of course. Too bad so so sad for you. There was a bit of comedy in the midst of all the suffering Texans have had to put up with. Texas Senator, one Ted Cruz, headed off to Cancun just as the winter disaster 2021 planted a firm grip on Texas. Cruz is an asshole almost as large an asshole as trump. I do hope that Texans will remember their gloriously if not cowardly Senator Cruz the next time the poltroon has to run for re-election. I do feel bad for the poor people in Texas that are bearing the brunt of Texas political ineptitude and republican arrogance. Of course by the time of the next election cycle in Texas, the ruling party of the One Texan That Counts, will have made voter decertification a number one priority and regular Texans that vote won't be able to. Vote. Oh happy day...oh happy days to come...                               Now we're on to machine art and stuff. Texans will have to fend for themselves and that's exactly how Texas Governor 'Wheels' Abbott likes it.

Okay and Thursday is in the books. The Mars Rover is supposed to make a Martian descent today and let us hope that all goes well for NASA. You know as in, don't crash the Rover. Please. :]
