    I hope people don't freeze down there. Texas isn't equipped to handle that kind of weather.
    Blog!

    And it's happened once again
    I'll turn to a friend
    Someone that understands
    And sees through the master plan
    But everybody's gone
    And I've been here for too long
    To face this on my own
    Well, I guess this is growing up

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    He also mentioned driving a front wheel drive rental car ‘in circles’ around all these spun out lifted trucks. Very few 4x4 vehicles, and those that are have bald / wrong tires. No hats, winter coats, etc.

    Doesn’t hurt to prepare for the odd catastrophe.

    Can't lie, if I lived in Texas I seriously doubt I would have considered the idea of a snow storm, or even more, sustained freezing temperatures.

    Awful situation.

    Growing up in Minnesota you get all the seasons, sometimes in the same week. I’m sure living in the south, the idea of this kind of weather was a borderline myth.

    Same here. Especially this winter, it has been so odd. We had a green Christmas, then by New Years we had 4 feet of snow and it was -20. A week later nearly all the snow was gone.

    We are currently on day 2 of a 5 day dump.

    I need to find something I can grab when i got the munchies - something that, unlike chips and crackers, actually sates my appetite, is easy to just grab out of the pantry/fridge and throw in my face, and doesn't phlegm me up like dairy does. Anybody have any ideas?

    That's un-appropriate.

    I get these from Costco. 1:00 in the microwave. Not fancy eating, but pretty good for a late night snack.

    On game night I make my own trail mix.

    Usually roasted peanuts, raisins, and M&Ms or Unreal.

    Good idea on the scallops - I could satisfy my cravings, then five minutes later evacuate my entire GI system through the nearest exits!

    *looooong whistle*


    THE STATE’S ELECTRICAL GRID IS AT A CRITICAL STAGE AND ERCOT SAYS THEY ARE IN JEOPARDY OF LOSING THE GRID. ALL UTILITIES, INCLUDING CPS, WILL BE AFFECTED.

    • ROTATING OUTAGES WILL BE INCREASING IN BOTH LENGTH AND FREQUENCY.
    • CRITICAL CIRCUITS WILL NOW EXPERIENCE OUTAGES. THERE IS A VERY HIGH PROBABILITY THAT ALL CUSTOMERS INCLUDING CRITICAL CUSTOMERS SUCH AS HOSPITALS WILL BE AFFECTED.
    • WE HAVE NO CERTAINTY OR ABILITY TO PREDICT DURATION OR FREQUENCY OF OUTAGES DURING THIS CRITICAL STAGE.
    • RESTORATION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED UNTIL THIS EMERGENCY SITUATION HAS IMPROVED.
    • PLEASE REDUCE YOUR THERMOSTATS TO A MAXIMUM OF 62 DEGREES

    CUSTOMERS ARE BEING ASKED TO IMMEDIATELY CONSERVE ELECTRICITY AND NATURAL GAS. CUSTOMERS MAY ALSO SEE A LOSS OF WATER, AS WATER SYSTEMS RUN ON ELECTRICITY. WE ARE TRYING TO MAINTAIN THE INTEGRITY OF THE GRID AND AVOID A ERCOT-WIDE BLACKOUT. CUSTOMERS CAN STAY UP-TO-DATE ON THE CPS FACEBOOK AND TWITTER PAGES AND CAN ALSO MONITOR POWER OUTAGES AND REPORT THEM ON THE OUTAGE MAP AT OUTAGEMAP.CPSENERGY.COM/

    The state isn't doing a good of managing those critical circuits though.

    Reminds me of Fallout: New Vegas.
