#dfw #eclipse weather - At the moment, if I’m reading my Windy app right, the only model that’s verifying right now as I look out the door is the NAM, and that model shows some partial clearing north of I-20 at eclipse time. Cross y’all’s fingers. 😎

Windy weather app map with cloud coverage percentages over different north Texas locales. The NAM model forecast for 1:00 p.m. CDT predicts 23% cloud coverage over my home in far north Dallas.

Article from the Dallas Morning News about the Keller ISD's cancellation of a high school production of "The Laramie Project".

Noting also for the record, the far right Patriot Mobile-backed board members who likely pushed for this were also recently responsible for sneaking an evangelical documentary film crew into a high school, to the outrage of many parents.

Speaking of #caturday if you're in #DFW and need a buddy, this little tabby kitten was meowing like mad under my house for more than a day before I finally cut a hole in the floor to get him out. He needs a home (I've got too many pets and my cat's a bully to other cats, despite being crazy sweet to everyone else, including dogs). He's super sweet, curious, smart, and took to a litter box immediately. He's very easy going, I haven't heard a peep out of him since I let him in.

The Estonian capital of Tallinn is a fare-free pioneer, charing residents nothing to ride buses and trams since 2013.

The policy has been a flop. Locals are driving more than ever.

@davidzipper I was a regular train rider here in #DFW about the time of Covid, things got worse. New collision controls messed with schedules and increased travel times. Links to last mile services got worse (scheduled buses went to on-demand--first one service, then an even worse service). Covid made frequency worse for the trains.

Now, no amount of discount could really make me choose it again without serious service improvements. It is sad.

FM in area is creeping in on this morning in 90.1 FM. It was OK by the time I got to Lewsville, but it was really strong.

Highs of 108F in Austin for the next few days, we've had no rain for weeks, and the fire danger is very high to extreme. Looking at Hawaii and NWT fires nervously.

The other day, my 13-year-old told me they had no plans to go to college in Texas or live here when they were done with their education. “I have fewer rights now than when I was born, and I’ll have fewer still when I’m older,” they said. I couldn’t argue...

My best friend lives 7 min from me. She received this in her yard today. Every house had them. Someone collected over 40 and trashed them. This is disgusting.

New from Correspondent Benton Graham: a coalition of safety experts are pressuring the #Texas legislature to improve road #safety and reduce fatalities throughout the state:

adamjcook,

@TexasObserver Curious that #Dallas and #FortWorth are apparently not in the room on this… seeing that the #DFW #Metroplex is almost entirely paved over at this point.

There are inherent and significant limits in achieving quantifiable safety when dealing with #car volumes at these levels.

Systematic collapse, so it is often called in #SystemsSafety parlance.

Great reporting!
