So, in 2016 the mayor and city attorney for Miami called into question a study by FIU regarding the consequences of any flooding in the that might occur in south east Florida. When the study was published they called it "fake science" (sound familiar) and tried to discredit it.

Now, Hurricane Irma. And the city of Miami, as well as sewage infrastructure from all the nearby cities and towns, will be put to the test. Will the study hold true or will Miami skate by? Will people want to vacation in #PooTown, USA?

Article on the city's reaction to the study.

Local authorities dismissed the study’s results, calling them sloppy science. It will be more difficult to dismiss whatever evidence about Florida’s vulnerable sewer system Irma washes up.

When groundwater levels go up, they push the waste back up, sometimes resulting in a poop flood.

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
