    Idalia is a massively destructive storm. Made landfall as a Category 3 

    It missed my home by a good margin, but it hit one of the few places in Florida that had no historical record of being hit by a large hurricane 
    There aren't many towns in that part of the Sunshine State, but those towns are getting hit hard 

    Meanwhile in the land of the Manatee, many businesses and services shut down in advance of what could have been.  Now these places will remain closed until tomorrow at least when the only effects we are experiencing currently are drizzle, deep puddles, and a strong breeze

    I've encountered at least four types of flat earthers 

    1, People who are not flat earthers, but just like provoking responses from others 

    2, People who really believe that flat earth is a statement of faith 

    3, People who are convinced that conventional thinking is a conspiracy, so they deny everything that reeks of modern knowledge 

    4, People for whom education has failed and are unable to debate a concept with themselves 

     

    Have I missed anyone?

    Sarah is correct.

    It is not good that Tedd is taking Kevin's criticism to heart.

    It may be hopeful thinking on my part, but I think Tedd is considering arguments to the contrary

    Maybe this arc will deal with Tedd's tendency to fixate at the expense of his other needs.

    So, "One way road" the return.

    Perhaps a little more optimistic this time

     

    Even if Kevin was not deliberately designed to teach this subject, he may teach Tedd how to stand up to authority figures

    The forecast for Idalia is so helpful 

    The entire west coast of Florida could be hit 

    Not sure what to think 

    By the way, because Atlantic Storm names are rotated every 6 years unless retired, Idalia is in the same alphabetical position as Irma from 2017 & Irene from 2011 

    The I storms are always Interesting and often retired

    Ian          2022
    Ida          2021
    Iota          2020
    Irma          2017
    Ingrid          2013
    Irene       2011
    Igor          2010
    Ike          2008
    Ivan          2004
    Isabel          2003
    Isidore          2002
    Iris       2001
    Inez          1966
    Ione       1955

    Kevin was an EARLY attempt by Arthur to enchant a teaching tool.  If Kevin had worked properly at first, Arthur would have become aware that he had created a caricature of a teacher with an exaggerated sense of the values and ideals a Government agent was supposed to uphold.

    Might have been worse.  Kevin could have become an enchanted, immortal career bureaucrat.

    Before the Reagan era, "Conservative" candidates could go to extremist right wing groups (Fascist, racist, theocracies, isolationist, militants . . . ) and with a smile, nod and a generic jingoistic speech that didn't address any of their issues specifically, they could quietly count on their votes in the general election. 

    Now these groups realize that they have motivated members who can show up to primaries in sufficient numbers to disproportionately influence the result.  Republican candidates for areas the size of single congressional districts or smaller know that they must appease these groups or be voted out long before the general election. 

     . . . . 

    As for "open" primaries, this was the case in Michigan when I was a child and first started voting. 

    Basically, the primary ballot was divided into sections.  A "Non-Partisan" section for ballot issues, and a section for each party.  If you puled down a lever in the Republican section you were not able to move a lever in the Democratic section, and verse vicea. 

    I don't know if it was the principal factor, but one idea was to remove the cost of primaries from the taxpayer by letting the parties run their own caucuses.  If you wanted to vote in the Democratic caucus, you had to register your party preference with the local election supervisor sufficiently in advance of the election and then the election supervisor would let the parties know who had registered as what. 

    Personally, I suspect that party organizers just want to keep their rank and file members from considering other party candidates at all.

    Lord Tedd shall return.

    Shall we let the Uryoms from the Griffon world deal with him?

     . . .

    As for location?  If they are using magic openly without authority figures or enemies present, it is likely Tedd's basement.  Tedd's campus lab introduction should be a significant story event.
