I research civic data for a living. Herewith the official list of "quirks of the court" for the Texas 506th Judicial District. I especially love quirk #7 (Word Perfect, please!) and # 11 (Do not flog a dead horse. Not even in Texas.)

Every year I put together an annual plan. Happy to report that I met and exceeded expectations on 2022's main goal: Have fun. (Nothing else got done, mind you:) I did have fun though!)

Herewith my annual plan template. Enjoy!

The worst case scenario for climate change is not as bad as researchers expected five years ago. New forecasts show the world's temperature increasing by 3 degrees not 5. Still not great, but better. https://t.co/zPjG2685cy
