The video's actually very funny, when you realize what's going on in it.

I just got back from dinner.

What do you think of David Weber's making his latest 'Honorverse' novel, A Beautiful Friendship, for the teen audience?

"Grinding The Crack"

Heehee! Texas Tech is trailing Texas State 10-9 at the half. One media prophet favored Tech by 42 in this game and the Vegas line is Tech by 19.
This result matches media coverage. To get streaming audio, you have to go to Texas State's Bobcat network. I go through KZNX in Austin. The Red Raider network, through flagship KJTV radio in Lubbock, does not have streaming audio. KJTV's on-air announcers, who will remain mercifully nameless here, are among the lamest and most amateurish in major college football anyway. Among other things, they cannot get the yard lines right on something like a third of the plays, which confuses the hell out of the listeners. The 33 is rendered as 23 or maybe 17 or whatever random perception the disembodied chatterers happen to have. They also mis-state the down on a huge percentage of the plays. If you hear "3rd down at the 17," it could just as easily be "4th down at the 33."

OK, here's something to talk about:

John H. McWhorter
Marrying Out
Black women will have to become more open to nonblack partners, Ralph Banks argues.

Stanford Law School professor Ralph Banks’s Is Marriage for White People? is essentially about a black American interviewee he calls Audrey. She’s 39, graduated from prestigious black college Spelman, and has an M.B.A. She has travelled the world and has a plush job with a multinational consulting firm. She is also unmarried and sees few signs that that will change.

What interests Banks is that Audrey is, in this last detail, typical. Seven out of ten black women are unmarried, and college-educated black women are twice as likely as their white female peers not to be married by their thirties. That is, they’re no more likely to marry or stay married—black divorce rates are also twice as high as white—than white women with only a high school diploma. The picture is little better for black men, fewer than half of whom are husbands. (Affluent black men, in fact, become less likely to marry the more money they earn—the reverse of the trend for white men.) Moreover, neither Africa nor slavery is the culprit here: as late as the 1950s, nine in ten black women married.

Banks’s book focuses mostly on black women, partly because their rates of singlehood are higher, partly because they were more forthcoming in interviews, and partly because he sees them as the ones who could solve the problem. “For black women, being unmarried has become the new normal, single the new black,” he writes.

It’s now standard to point to the high incarceration rates of black men, which render the ratio of women to available men unsuitably high, as a main cause of the black marriage crisis. But Banks focuses on educated black women, whom we would not expect this problem to affect. Audrey’s singlehood owes to other factors. One is that black men “marry out” of their racial group (about one in five) more than black women do (fewer than one in ten). Asian and Latino women are over three times as likely to marry out of their group as black women.

Of course, nobody else does either, but still...

He is also nice guy. He played at Mr BlueRavens company picnic, probably around 10 years ago, I guess. He took the time to chat with my star struck pre teen daughter.
She treasures that autograph and still loves him to this day. Of course now she can see him in the clubs!

NASA data reveals anomalously hot summer

NASA data shed light on the persistent heat over Texas and Oklahoma:
"It is worth noting that even though the pressure anomalies [atmospheric pressures in the lower troposphere] were small (Figure 3b), they could drive changes in the atmospheric circulation sufficient to break heat records at the surface."

Rick Perry prayed that no rain would fall upon his hair, and God answered him with a drought in Texas. In atonement, Rick Perry should leave Texas and stand outside in a thunderstorm. I don't know if the chance for him to be hit by lighting is a plus or minus in that scenario.

All we are getting here in the Austin area is a dry breeze. Its still a hot breeze but not as hot. Not so good for the wildfire situation. We sure could have used a little rain here.
