I love houses that trap heat! /s

Running a dehumidifier can also help lower the temperature. Water takes a much longer time to heat up/cool down than air does. If you remove the warm moisture from the air and then open the windows and let the cooler 20-25 degree air inside, it should cool the house faster.

Why Harris is taking her campaign to a state she won’t win: Texas

Tx has been moving towards flipping blue.

Clinton lost by ~800,000 votes (5% of registered voters) and Biden lost by ~640,000 votes (~3.5% of registered voters). This year, TX is breaking records for early voting turnout, and, historically speaking, Democrats win with high turnout. In just 4 days, TX has cast almost 1/4 as many votes as the entire 2020 election and that's during the first week of early voting when the polls are only required to be open 9 hours a day. We still haven't seen the turnout for this weekend or next week, when polls are open at least 12 hours a day.

Pepperidge farm remembers

Yes and so strong was the belief with Republicans that Obama was going to hold citizens prisoner in Walmarts in Central TX that Abbott ordered the TX National Guard to oversee the Jade Helm training exercises. Insane that he is still Governor after taking action on such a ridiculous story.

The CIA later confirmed that the conspiracy theory came from the Russia and its propaganda machine.

Texas Republicans vote to arrest Democrats stalling redistricting vote

Only immediate consequences. The gerrymandering they want to pass has the potential to screw the state and country depending on how the gerrymandering works and is perceived to work. I'm afraid this may make our voting numbers go down even more.

No telling what can happen if Republicans achieve their goal of solidifying a bigger majority in the US House. We've already seen that Texans are willing to keep Cruz in the senate, rather than spend 30 minutes voting.

In Texas, if you have a contract with the state or a school district, you have to sign a contract where you agree not to "boycott israel" whatever that means. So I guess if one was to "boycott israel" while taking money from the state of Texas, that could be considered an illegal boycott.

Is Texas about to put a Democrat in the Senate? | Colin Allred is gaining on Ted Cruz

www.votetexas.gov has everything you need for the election. You can register to vote, check your voter registration, check your polling locations and hours, and see the important dates. Voter registration must be received by Oct 7.

Polls open Oct 21-Nov 1, with a final day to vote on Nov 5. Polls will be open at least 9 hours the first week and at least 12 hours the second week and final voting day. Go in the first 2 weeks and there won't be a long line! I've never waited more than 10 minutes when voting the first two weeks.
