I believe a little critical thinking would support the conclusion that indiscriminate firings at the agency will lead to at least short-term issues with the quality and timing of data coming out of NOAA which could have major ramifications beyond our tiny surfing world. Surf forecasting was born from the same developments in weather forecasting that our military used to successfully plan and execute D-Day landings and all the other landings throughout the pacific campaign during the war. Every day I find it harder and harder to understand how any one can continue to support the current administrations policies and actions. And no I'm not a Democrat or a Republican. I'm fiscally conservative and socially liberal - would love to see more efficiency in government and a more open and accepting society which i don't believe are mutually exclusive. I don't believe our current trajectory is going to get us there on the fiscal side and obviously not on the social side. Click to expand... I think NC John might consider running for President. Thanks for your reasoned comment. ST |
