You can wear boots with jeans.  You can wear boots with your Sunday finest.  I wore boots with my tuxedo when I got married.

Chicks look great in boots with sundresses.

Some dudes wear boots with shorts, but that ain't right.

hell yes

and pulling an old car hood behind a 4-wheel drive pickup in the field
I mention bumper skiing and kids today look at you like lobsters are crawling out your ears.Back in the '70s cars still had chrome plated bumpers that protruded from the frame and were easy to grab.Many times in the winter we'd grab a ride going a half mile or so down the road,of course it had to have snowed.Always had to watch for man hole covers as your feet never slid over those .Get into a tight crouch like a downhill racing skier grabbing the bumper.Never behind the exhaust pipe for obvious reasons or behind the tires,you'd a face full of slush/salt/mud.One time at nite I ran out to grabb a ride - it was cop - I just went past and into a near by woods.He didn't bother.This was called fun,no internet,cell phones or cable so you had to make do.We played football from like September thru february

15 minutes | Climate Etc. (judithcurry.com)

Worth a read in my view, a succinct and credible set of slides and comments.

In spite of the numerous UN treaties and agreements to reduce emissions, the atmospheric CO2 concentration relentlessly continues to increase
The challenge to getting to netzero by 2050 is illustrated by this diagram from the International Energy Agency.  This figure shows the pathways for emissions reductions that the major economies need to take to reach netzero by 2050.  Europe and the US have already turned the corner, but they still have a very steep path to netzero.  By 2050, global emissions will be dominated by whatever China and India have done, or have failed to do. 
The IEA roadmap finds that there is a possible but very narrow pathway to netzero by 2050, provided that there’s a huge leap in energy innovation and major efforts to build new infrastructure.  Others find that reaching netzero by 2050 is a social and technological impossibility.

Constraining the date of a seasonally ice‐free Arctic using a simple model - Bonan - - Geophysical Research Letters - Wiley Online Library

Arctic sea ice coverage has declined substantially over the past few decades and is projected to continue to decline over the next century. These projections, however, are marred by large uncertainties which arise primarily due to differences between climate models. In this study, we use a simple model that emulates the future evolution of Arctic sea ice as simulated by climate models to explain where this uncertainty comes from. We show that biases in simulating present-day Arctic sea ice contribute most of the uncertainty, with climate model differences in the simulated amount of Arctic warming contributing much of the rest. We use observations to constrain our simple model and show that under a high emissions scenario it is likely the Arctic will be free of sea ice in September sometime between 2036–2056 and from July to October sometime between 2050–2068. We also show that the emissions pathway impacts the length of ice free summers in the Arctic, indicating a low-emissions pathway will reduce the likelihood of seeing ice-free Arctic summers.

Houston is in the path of a wanna be hurricane

No big deal if you dont mind the 10 to 15 inches of rain that comes with it

If this was New York they would request a natural disaster be declared

well the almost hurricane eye is now expected to pass right over down town Houston

fortunately the heavy stuff will be to the north east of the storm so other then a 5 to 10 inch rain we will have winds of about 40 mph which normally would be no problem but lately around my house if somebody sneezes the power goes out so I may be missing in action for a bit

I think BU generators are a "coming thing", meaning an underdeveloped market that is going to explode.
