Finally some good news.

Finally some good news. Not that the stories of courageous volunteers coming out of Houston weren't already good news, but the equipment and training the military can bring to bear, such as helicopters, water purification systems and high water vehicles, will be especially beneficial going forward.

Begrudgingly I'm going to give this one to #DonaldTrump. He is, by nature, a delegater, and we all know of his love affair with the military (I'm surprised he hasn't demanded military parades in his honor yet). There's a very good chance he said, "Get the military in there to help." Or Pence did.

Either way: good call.

Trump did, the second the mayor said we can accept the help. Trump pressured the mayor of Houston to accept the aid from the federal government.
Honestly as a Texan I can tell you he has been pitch perfect for the entire crisis. The only misstep (if it was one) was Houston where they said don't evacuate. That was a blessing to rockport in reality so even that was probably not the wrong call.

The mayor of Houston said not to, the governor said I would strongly consider it. (As much as he is allowed to say in a public address)

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
