August 15, 20232 yr Popular Post If y'all want to follow a cool story. My best friend is part of a crew sailing a 51ft sailboat around the globe for the Ocean Globe race, on an all veteran crew, to raise awareness for PTSD and suicide. They are sponsored by sig sauer and are competing against absolute professionals as they are....a skeleton crew. https://skeletoncrewadventures.org/tracking here is the link. They started in Galveston and are about to land in Southampton where the race begins. I will be going to see him off next week. This is relevant as I tracked him every day and was terrified of him hitting a hurricane on the way to England. He still have to make it around the cape this summer so it could happen.

Is the VA involved?
August 15, 20232 yr 50 minutes ago, Bevo said: Is the VA involved? I dont think so. They have several sponsors. Their goal is to treat PTSD/Anxiety/whatever with "adventure therapy". This is in the same mold as newer therapies like equine therapy etc. The good news is they have taken out 288 vets on rides out of Houston and zero have committed suicide after exploring sailing with them. Really good cause and tears me up typing it. My buddy is a better dude than I am. We are going to meet two of our Ukranian buddies in England when I get there. One of them is Azov. Just went back to the front like Kherson region two weeks ago for fun and to fuck around with his buddies. Different breed. Edited August 15, 20232 yr by MisterP
August 15, 20232 yr I see most of the reservists and national guard in the area, but occasionally I'll see veterans through the VA. The VA requires lots of training on PTSD and suicide prevention. It seems like they should be involved in that kind of thing. It is pretty cool and I'm sure it helps.

Your choices are "burn to death or down." You gotta pick one. Wait...belay that order. I understand that "freeze to death in your own home" is also now occasionally on offer. So, you wanna order one of the regular menu items, or you wanna go with the special?

Don't forget the newest item on the menu - "have trees fall on your roof for 72 hours straight". Selling like hotcakes.

August 17, 20232 yr Zack Shields said they just upgraded to 30% chance of a tropical storm in the gulf. Come on baby!
August 17, 20232 yr 5 minutes ago, Biff Tannen said: Zack Shields said they just upgraded to 30% chance of a tropical storm in the gulf. Come on baby! Western Gulf of Mexico: A broad area of low pressure could form in the central or western Gulf of Mexico by the beginning of next week. Some slow development of this system is possible thereafter as it moves westward and approaches the western Gulf of Mexico coastline by the middle of next week. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent. * Formation chance through 7 days...low...30 percent.

August 17, 20232 yr NHC thinks it's something worth monitoring as well: Is it possible that we get hammered by this massive hurricane yet it dumps not a drop of rain? I think so. Perhaps a new thing like the Great Red Spot on Jupiter sitting on top of Texas, a perpetual unending storm of hellish dry 200mph dry winds to go with our 126 degree temps.

My biggest fear about this is that it becomes Tropical Storm Don in 2011. It was completely wiped out by the high pressure.

August 17, 20232 yr Doesn’t matter. It’s waiting for you. Go early and the storm just moves faster. Delay and it will wait. Cancel and it will just track your ass down.
