for the neighbors sure

I do not bet on failing so do not play that
I totally over did my roof myself plus others
3 plywood layers screwed and glued code is one with nails only no glue
the all plastic no tar no paper sealing under doubled steel with extra screws
we think under 200mph it will stay
then added 1/2 SS cable to the ground slab just to make sure 23klbs swl
all windows are steel + doors + big garage door [ a fail on many in andrew]

spent on the structure skip the ins rip off
we are ahead of 2019 roof vs ins cost by 2 years now
as we got new unused supplys just before the price spike at surplus lot deals

Climate change hysteria '67, the year they began experimenting with Timothy Leary's lsd in California.
The reason the msm repeats the same bs since that time, with no more sense than insects chirping.
Echoing one another, pretending a consensus, out of their minds on drugs, impaired, wacko like.
A greater danger is the alien poop on the sidewalks of the cities, just drying there, sitting, nasty turds that neither the Governor nor the Mayors can police up, a problem unsolvable, apparently.
' Public defecation is a crime ! ' ' Stop ! You're under arrest ! ' ' Clean up the mess you've made ! '
Paper biodegradable bags ! That's the answer ! Sure, handy poop bags for the inadvertent bowel movements during inconvenient commute times, on the subway, bus, elevator, escalator, in a park, walking on the sidewalk.
Comes with handy TP wipes attached, adding utility and cleanliness to the event, socially responsibility in action !
Dropping bombs on urban sidewalks is so inconsiderate to the taxpayers and inconvenient to pedestrians.
Bernard tells it like it is !
OK ! Now it's not funny !

As the denizens of Meme-ville export their "dumb" 24/7, the grid on Long Island received power from a commercial-scale offshore wind energy installation—a first for the United States.

How many homes are on Long Island ? How many homes will one wind fan power ? How many acres will your fan take up ?

How many acres are taken up by a solar farm ? Why don't they put solar panels on the fans ?

You need to start questioning your religion.

That was "juice" from the first operational wind turbine of the many that are being installed offshore. This, even in the wake of recent contract cancellations that have either scuttled some of the other offshore wind projects or at least have delayed them.

All this.... the Atlantic seaboard.

That's very much a contrivance, not an explanation.

I could say that Obama has more confidence that Climate Mitigation measures like phasing out the use of fossil fuels will happen fast enough to make a difference.

I could say that Obama or some other liberal or progressive "man of means" has brought oceanfront property, but it's set back farther from shore, or it's protected by a steeper coastline, so that it is not as vulnerable to sea level rise as the Vizcaya Museum & Gardens, in Miami, that I've singled out. That would likely be factual, depending on where their newly or recently acquired oceanfront property is located.

I could say that Obama or someone like that is comfortable with the idea that their oceanfront property will not be ruined by Sea Level Rise before they've had a chance to enjoy it, and they are not that concerned about property depreciation as the next two or three decades go by. They are not thinking that far ahead.

Any of these statements are more reasonable than what Raydar just said.



I think not. All of those statements are just conjecture, on your part.

It's not all conjecture on my part.

Sea Levels "fanatic" that I am, some months ago I was prompted to investigate when this same point was raised, about the liberal elites and their newly purchased beachfront property.

I focused on a particular beachfront property that Obama had purchased in recent years, on Martha's Vineyard.

I cross-referenced news reports about the Obama property with Google Maps to figure out exactly where this property was located. With the exact location of the property, I set up some Sea Level Rise scenarios. I probably used that same NOAA "DIgital Coast" website that I just referenced in my post here of the other day, with the photographs of the Vizcaya Museum near downtown Miami.

I concluded that Obama's beachfront residence and property on Martha's Vineyard was not as vulnerable as Miami (looking at it in retrospect) to Sea Level Rise. Still vulnerable, but less so. Progressive Sea Level Rise will submerge large areas of Miami before it gets high enough to wash away the Obama residence on Martha's Vineyard.

Progressive Sea Level Rise means that year by year, sea levels continue to rise. It doesn't mean "progressive" In a political sense!

I think I could go back and find what I posted about it, if I put my mind to it.

Have you been the the beach lately?

I haven't had a chance to get back down to Florida, I miss the beaches.

And this (from Raydar) is not conjecture?

And yet the Obamas and the other elites continue to buy oceanfront property—both on the east and west coasts.

They must not be convinced [that there is global warming that is bringing on higher sea levels.]


Like I am supposed to believe that Raydar is looking at metrics about the real estate purchases of the "Obamas and the other elites"..? And even more conjectural, that they are actually factoring in their confidence or skepticism in what climate researchers are saying, when they decide on these purchases?

That strikes me as a leap of faith that is not consonant with the realities of human psychology.

It's akin to Conspiracy Theory. It's "magical" thinking on the part of Raydar and whoever else subscribes to that idea.

Make no mistake about this: I dismiss this kind of speculation about the real estate purchases of the "elties." I gainsay it. I pooh-pooh it.

It's worthy only of an "Alex Jones"..!
