Not sure if protests do anything but it was good to gather with other people in my town who want a better world

What's our return on the NWS. Information we get from the NWS costs about $4/person/year. A recent AMS survey found for every $1 spent on the NWS, we see a $73 return. How? Think of the lives & property saved by timely weather warnings issued by the NWS. That's a GREAT investment! #ncwx #NOAA #NWS

Stacy's mom's medicare is gone

Heard a song from the 80s reference a "long distance call" and it occurred to me that this is a concept that no longer holds any emotional currency whatsoever
