Cuts to NOAA Recipe for Disasters Loss of Research Funds

Processing the loss of my little cousin, who died Sunday in a traffic incident. The tragic thing is that my little cousin was racing with a friend of his without wearing proper motorcycle PPE, category racing. On top of that he was racing on public roads not on a racetrack.

Since the speed was high and proper PPE was not worn, the result was deadly for him

He was only twenty-one

Sigh
