We're elbows deep into 100+ summertime heat. So we dive into the sea of the current event de jure. The Oceangate sub has been crushed under the weight of nearly 13,000 feet of water. We discuss the event, as compared to the Titanic sinking in 1912. What are your opinions of the wealthy and "Adventure Tourism"?

Springtime in Texas is always roulette. Don't know if we can feel safe from freezing, but warmer days begin festival season with Sherwood Forest Fair. We get our drink on and talk.
