Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

No Science, No Worries!


Chuck Watson is a long-time environmental/natural disaster impact analyst from Florida.  He recently participated in hazard-response planning meeting sponsored by FEMA and the Miami-Dade County Commissioners.

Watson says that when he mentioned sea-level rise, he was treated to a 15-minute dissertation on the Book of Genesis by one of the commissioners.  "God destroyed the world with water the first time," said the commissioner, "and he promised he wouldn't do it again.  So all of you who are pushing fears about sea-level rise, go back and read the Bible."

I, for one, am thoroughly reassured.
