1. I live an hour and a half from Galveston, but an hour from the coast.

We have had the warmest winter anyone can remember. My plants started blooming two months early. This has caused an early crawfish season and messed with rice farmers. Hay farmers are loving it, but what does this mean for the summer? It is already a blast furnace here in July/August.

This also means the flesh eating bacteria will be in beach waters all summer again. Sucks to have a beach where it is unsafe and unsanitary to get into the water with all of the fecal material, chemicals/fertilizer.

Now we are going to get rid of the regulations that exist, but not been enforced due to lack of funds in the regulatory agencies. I bet the Koch Bros., refinery 30 minutes away will be spewing toxins overtime now!
