People complained about me posting an ‘Anonymous” comment earlier today. I made an exception to my rule because they brought up very good points, was clearly not a college student (having been out 20+ years) or biased in any way and said nothing derog…



Thursday target area

By From http://stormsrus.blogspot.com/ • May 4th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Given divergent model depictions of conditions on Thursday May 7th I have chosen a target area just northwest of Denton TX. At the moment the WRF model is forecasting very high CAPE’s and not much convective inhibition in this area. The disconcerting…



Okay, when does my grass get cut?

By From http://fburg-weather.blogspot.com/ • May 4th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Below is an interesting email I edited for content:”We went on Friday in a small group. We asked a guy that identified himself as either the owner or manager (can’t remember which) about what all the place would offer. He gave a generic list and honest…



Now Wal-Mart has the Corleone Family against them-look out!

By From http://fredvegaschronicles.blogspot.com/ • May 4th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

I’ve said before Fred. Vegas seems like a movie, and today actor Robert Duvall (consigliere to Don Corleone in The Godfather) was in the area speaking out against the proposed Wal-Mart crap project in Orange. Is the tide turning? I assumed that even wi…



Views of a fellow blogger..

By From http://fredvegaschronicles.blogspot.com/ • May 4th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Another local blogger brought up a good point: to the best of his knowledge, kybecca doesn’t view U Cafe as competition, so there shouldn’t be any bad blood. He talked to one owner a long time ago who said they would be excited for lots of vibrant ac…
