MECHANICAL FAILURE DISAPPOINTS HUNDREDS OF PATIENT LAUNCH OBSERVERS

When it became clear that today's rocket launch was being aborted due to the failure of a pressure valve, the two young men in front of us from Guadalajara, Mexico asked about the weather in Montana.

While I've lived in Idaho, just next door, and traveled in Montana, a man visiting the launch site from Alaska answered before I could.

"It gets very cold in Montana, but the weather is almost perfect right now, a great time to visit," the Alaskan observed.

Ana and I saw license plates from a number of states and provinces of Canada.  Quebec seemed particularly well represented.  

In an extraordinarily long line to the men's restroom, I spoke with guys from Houston and Corpus Christi.  One was using a week of vacation for the trip.

While we left our home in Brownsville at 4:00 AM, by the time we crossed the Queen Isabella Causeway, the traffic was bumper to bumper and it took just over an hour to make it to the Isla Blanca toll booth.

Cameron County pulled in a lot of revenue today, but the launch has been rescheduled for Wednesday morning, so that should be another great money-making day.

Ana and I were able to use the day's access pass we purchased for $12 to go to another access point and enjoy the water, sun, sand and breeze.

  1. Jim the BPUB audit as posted by Roy since day one. Start at pg. 59. They point blank accuse Martinez and Trevino making money on the fraud to condemn land for the Tenaska project after they knew the deal was dead. Jessica they claim agreed to the rate increase because it meant more money to the city. None of this has been covered Jim. I am not going to reopen my blog, except maybe the day before the election so I can cover the election returns.

    You have to check this out. https://www.vote4roy.com/_files/ugd/2d836d_34e0c44cf62c41a39b84446ba3e12cad.pdf

    I hope this gives you a great post.

  2. Trevino was paid approximately $1.92 million over the period April 2013 to June 2018, of which $1.28
    million was allegedly for Tenaska related services. However, we could not ascertain why Trevino was
    involved in the Project to that extent, given that there were six other firms associated with legal fees for the
    Project and given his role simply as Board counsel. Aside from typically taking five to seven months to
    produce his billing details, it appeared that most of his invoices revolved around attending meetings, being
    included in conference calls, and being copied on emails. Moreover, his role as Board counsel was a
    potential source of conflict due to his elected position of Cameron County Judge. In fact, it appears to be
    that conflict that sparked his resignation in late 2017. '"

    Did you know he was Board Counsel at the same time he was county judge.

    Texas has a well founded discovery rule concerning limitations. Limitations for fraud is 4 years after it is discovered or should have been discovered.

    We need outside counsel to to sue the hell out of everyone involved to include Tenaska.

    I am not going to blog but this is beyond any form of corruption I have ever seen.

  3. The code provides for removal of Trevino as the county judge. The language is tricky. The law says it cannot be used for acts before election. This is an unanswered question. Before the last election or election. It can take years for the fraud to come out so I have always argued if the conduct occurred during any time after first being elected it is a basis for removal.
