Kerr County, Texas Flooding Disaster, July 2025

July 9, 2025
The situation has been ongoing for about 5 days now. 100 to 200 missing, 100 to 200 dead.
Part of the dynamics is the heat, which might be anywhere from 75 to 100 degrees outside, and the Guadalupe River running through the hardest hit area. Typically flooding might exist at least in part due to a river rising. Center Point seeks to be the focal point of the most intense flooding. Under 60 miles estimated northwest of San Antonio, and about at the 8 o'clock 100 miles from Austin.
Rescue equipment from the river that works well, might likely help, increased communication, cooling shelters, food and drink for rescue workers, housing for those whose housing has washed away.
This is an as we speak emergency, every second that goes by is valuable.

Fortunately a number of government rescue efforts are being used, such as drones and guardsmen. There have been hundreds reported rescued. Top State government officials are actively involved in the rescue effort. Albeit, there are times when more constructive contributions or at least the offer couldn't hurt. 

Not all details are on this page, as this is a rapidly developing story.

April 18, 2025
Evening 4/17/25 EST
This is a follow up to my recent blog post, https://hcn-cache.blogspot.com/2025/04/reflections-on-us-canada-relations-in.html, that mentioned Van Buren and Canadian neutrality in the discussion on tariffs; that hey- there is more than that, there is also for instance Hoover's Smoot.
Instead of writing a new article every time another tariff point possibly applicable presents itself, in the framework loosely of assessing current tariff issues/nonissues,  let's (quickly) do a...

Utmost Importance: Not Just No Drinking and Driving, But No Driving While Intoxicated

June 6, 2024
Almost midway through 2024 most folks in the USA have got the jingle down, 'Don't drink and drive'. Perhaps a next level of understanding is it is not just alcohol that can impair judgement and be a factor in road disasters. It is intoxicants and other elements that could be factors as well.
For the purpose of this post and to be brief, pertinent substances that are on the 'list' and should be emphasized as what not have in your system when driving, include but are not limited to:
  • Cocaine
  • Meth
  • Fe...
