Mississippi Tornadoes

I followed these storms in real time through storm chaser Youtube last night as a powerful wedge tornado plowed through nearly 100 miles of rural Mississippi, followed by a second formation right on the doorstep of Amory, MS. This morning the photos reveal the catastrophic damage to the small agricultural towns of Silver City, Rolling Fork, Amory and others.

At least 23 dead, others missing.

Buying carbon tax-free coal power from the US while shutting down our own coal plants

Last summer, SaskPower said it was going to beef up its interconnect to North Dakota and the Southwest Power Pool, (which runs down to Texas). This will increase our ability to buy and sell power from 150 megawatts to 650 megawatts, or more than Boundary Dam Power Station. We’re going to be paying $52 million a year for this privileges. Well, next week there will be open houses held in Estevan, where this power line will be due south of.

Note this at the end of the story from the SaskPower website, one of the benefits:

“gaining financial benefits through selling power to the rest of North America and avoiding carbon taxes”

This is an obvious case of carbon leakage. We will shut down our coal facilities to buy carbon-tax free coal power from the US.

RIP Burt Bacharach

Early on, Bacharach had horses with Whittingham. The best being Advance Guard, a Stakes Winner, but Mirlivam and Bdashed could run some as well. Bacharach wasn’t Charlie’s favorite type of owner. Whittingham thought owners should be treated like mushrooms — kept in the dark and covered with manure. Bacharach used to make surprise visits to the barn in the mornings and soon advised Whittingham that maybe one of his underachievers needed to be wormed. Charlie, noting a lack of recent hits, advised Bacharach to worm his piano. – via TB acquaintance Curtis W.

The Decline And Fall Of The American Empire

Indeed: I’m not sure which is more embarrassing: That Biden waited until the balloon had passed completely over the US before giving the shutdown order, or that the Pentagon keeps calling back like a spurned high school girl.
