    Every time one of these threads pop up, the usual suspects flock to it like a bug light.  At least it consolidates the politics into a single thread. 
    Lol Michael you're always in these threads saying this same thing.  Then whenever the boobs appear you open up your spank bank to share.

    He seems to have become extremely resourceful as of late, due the frequency of the threads of this type, which continue to evolve. He is correct though, we are all on these thread, we being the usual suspects, like the common house fly is on sugar.

    I finally learned to wake surf today!
    That's very cool @bgebrent.  Did you learn from scratch or are you a veteran of some other form of skiing and just converting to the wake surfing?

    I've skied a good bit but this was new.  It's really not too hard.  Just fun for an old dog to learn something new.  Thanks.

    I'm sure you're right, and that Trump is in reality the most popular President ever who is doing a bang-up job despite not being able to get any major pieces of legislation passed.

    I think that Presidents who get things done and actually deliver on campaign promises tend to be more popular than those who don't.  Although I'm actually quite happy Trump hasn't found a way to get much of anything done, so don't get me wrong - I'm not complaining!  =)

    Yeah Trump is totally against the alt-right and neo-Nazis, which is why he's fired Bannon, Gorka, and Miller from the White House.  Oh wait...

    Great move, obviously.  The thing is -  ignoring empirical changes does not stop them.  So this kind of policy will end up costing dearly in things that have to be rebuilt.

    In an administration where idiocy seems to be the daily norm that has to rank among one of the more idiotic decisions. However, since Trumpy's whole raison d'être seems to be to remove anything Obama created it's not too surprising.

    My guess is tho that most of the states that will be building such projects will still adhere to the logical thinking behind the Obama era rules.

    That's the thing about sea-level rise, fish.  Things that didn't used to be flood zones become them at some point.  It doesn't take a whole lot, either, because another centimeter of water level distributed over hundreds of acres has a tendency to accumulate during a storm surge.

    They re-evaluated the flood zone rating all around New Orleans.  Our rates went up as risk increased.  I foresee this being done all around the country more often to keep the federal flood insurance program solvent with changing global conditions.  Some areas will become drier, and fire may become more of a risk than flood. 

    You have to adapt.
