Just about any Tarantino movie is worth a watch.

This podcast [Hidden Content] Speaks to how we respond to risk. Its pretty short. 24 minutes. Two case studies: Fukushima - An older couple was evacuated from the Fukashima reactor incident. They weren't super close but within an evacuation zone. The risks of radiation exposure were elevated within their zone but not incredibly high. They used the "better safe than sorry" card. They relocated to Hong Kong, burned through their savings, too old to be competitive in the job market, too poor to just retire. They were allowed to go back home for one day and night. Once home, the wife refused to leave and the husband found her dead of a suicide the next morning. This kind of story became common for people from that area. The data suggests that the deaths from suicide, poverty, and stress were significantly higher than the deaths that could be attributed to any radiation exposure within the zone. Actions taken to protect people were actually causing greater harm. Hatfield Rail Crash - A broken rail caused a high speed train to crash, killing 4 people and injuring more than 70. The response was to cut the speeds while inspecting all the rail. This caused the train volume to fall by half. Most of these people that left the rail owned cars. People are 12 times more likely to die in an auto accident than a rail accident. Those people are now at a greater risk than before but those deaths will never be attributed to the train crash. There will be consequences to acting as well as NOT acting. When factoring in the data about school closures and mortality rates, school closures are more harmful than helpful. So, how do we respond? - With data and evidence. We should judge policies based upon the evidence, not the intent. I am emailing the contacts at the UIL and the State the following links and a request to incorporate evidence into the decision to open our schools as soon as possible.

Weird show I like - Pulp Fiction. Equalizer is a good one. A surprise movie (didn’t think I’d like it) Battle of Los Angeles

Where were these people at about 3 weeks ago? Oh yeah, everything was ok till they came to the mayor’s house. She should be arrested.

I just hope we have a season.

Good to see the kiddo get some preseason recognition.😉 Could be a special Senior season for the boys, I know for a fact they have put in the hard work and dedication since the STJFL days.

Heck, I can loot a store and then burn it down, get arrested and some dem will bail me out, but just let them catch me without a mask and it’s curtains.

Same!

I only know of a couple that shut down then. Who are you talking about?

Weird show, but a classic line - Me & my boys going to go medieval. 😂😂😂

There was some weird stuff in that one too. Tarantino is a genius when it comes to wierd. What was in the suitcase? Read #1 [Hidden Content]

Reservoir Dogs!

Believe it or not, I was gonna follow up with Pulp Fuction. Good movie. I’ll have to look into Battle of Los Angeles.

I saw that when I went back and read the LISD's release.

Weird movie, but I always liked it. Clockwork Orange. Anyone seen it?

UIL just recommended that all schools shut down workouts and restart on July 13th.

Two of my all time favorite comedies. Also Animal house, Airplane, and Porkies

I had to check that it was nick cage. Also saw tex Cobb was in it. Then that led me to Diggstown. Thanks for starting this up again. It's refreshing to talk about more than virus, election, or race.

This is the state of Texas. I don't need to say anything more.

I like what Silsbee has coming back. I expect Gilder and a few others to lock down the WR spots. Arline and Jones will have the backfield solid. Foster the QB seems to have trimmed up a bit and looks stronger. Early game..Silsbee wins 33-28.
