Kind of a hodge-podge in my return to this thing......
ESPN Bet is no more. DraftKings and FanDuel continue to take over the sports betting world. Look, ESPN Bet was a bad, really bad book. But DraftKings and FanDuel are the worst. Losing competition in the space is going to be bad for bettors as the "Bankrupt or Ban" method of bookmaking becomes commonplace. If you're a serious bettor you should continue to keep rooting for, and patronizing Circa.
I feel for the TSA agents, I really do. I also feel for the flight controllers. But this mess is just another reason to go ahead and grit your teeth and sign up with Clear. (It's also an argument for privatizing airport security.)
Supermoons are cool. I do wonder this however: If crime rises during a full moon, does it rise even more during a Supermoon?
Beware the tendency to read too much into low-turnout elections. Outdated institutions that should be shuttered LOVE to do this.
I'm not sure how much of this is legitimate "analysis" and how much of it is wishful thinking. One thing I do know, Tomlinson is another resource the Chron should jettison and replace with news reporting resources.
Wild Goings on at Couchatta. Greed, shots fired (and, tragically, a minor's life put in jeopardy) and a whole bunch of shenanigans. Damn.
Sound cameras? As with any proposal to try and fix a societal ill through "simple" technology I find that the proposed solution is neither simple, nor is it a grand slam that it will be effective.
Menefee makes the CD 18 run-off despite having the WORST political ad in recorded history. What was he burning in that grill? Legal briefings?
Nancy Pelosi announces she's (finally) done. Well......bye. The problem is that now the historical revisionism will commence and she'll eventually have some obscure airport in California named after her.
Tomorrow starts Flightmageddon. Supposedly both Houston airports will be affected, as will most of the major hubs in the US. If you don't have to fly right now, probably a good idea to not. On the bright side it appears most major airlines will offer refunds.
And finally....
