What a fool and what a waste: #TexasFlood has caused #GregAbbott 's "Flood-proof" $96 million "floating border wall" boondoggle to break up & HUNDREDS of ONE-TON buoys are barreling toward bridges near Laredo.
The SHEER SCALE of the f***-up couldn't be more foreseeable.

Texas Flood
#stevierayvaughahan #bluesrock #texasflood #80srock #blues #rockmusic #rock #music #musicsky #musiciansky #jacksonbrowne The debut album from Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble is released on June 13, 1983. It was glorious. At the time, the 80's were dominated by synthesizers and new wave and out of that bleak landscape landed this album -- Stevie, Chris Layton and Tommy Shannon single handidly dragged the electric blues back into the mainstream.

"Pride and Joy" is a song by American singer, guitarist and songwriter #StevieRayVaughan and his backing band #DoubleTrouble, released in late 1983 by #EpicRecords. It lists Vaughan as the writer, but actually it is rewritten from a 1962 record called "I Go Into Orbit" by Johnny Acey. The song was released on Stevie's debut studio album #TexasFlood (1983). "Pride and Joy" was released as Vaughan's debut #single and has become one of his most popular songs.

From our magazine: I studied water. I studied rivers and tributaries and floodplains and watersheds. Hydrology was a main focus of my research. But theory is one thing, and seeing 100-year-old cypress trees laying flat on the ground, completely uprooted, is another.

In our magazine: "I walked into an apartment slipping and stumbling on mud so thick I couldn’t see the floor underneath. The table in the dining room was set, decorated with charger plates, flowers, and napkins nicely folded. The mud and debris covered everything." https://www.texasobserver.org/where-the-water-reached/

From @gusbova in our magazine: Kendall Scudder bills himself as both a progressive firebrand and a self-sacrificing devotee of the party. The Texas Observer spoke with him in mid-July about Bernie Sanders, the Hill Country flood, and diversity.

People did not die solely because of forgetfulness but because this amnesia allowed succeeding generations to erase the past and their responsibilities to the future. When they could have enacted post-flood, life-saving interventions, they chose not to act on their progeny’s behalf.

Let's watch Americans complain endlessly about the flood response in Texas while doing absolutely nothing to change anything or hold anyone meaningfully accountable.
People in power are not affected by complaining. People in power are not affected by peaceful protests. If they can safely ignore it, then it won't change anything.
The only way to change things is to make it so hard to abuse power that it stops being worth the effort.

I remember the river
how it felt like a silent companion and always gentle guide
how it felt timeless, ever present and patiently waiting for our returnI remember singing “Peace, I ask of thee oh river, peace, peace, peace”
