THIS IS WHERE THE BLAST WILL HIT THE FAN ON BOCA CHICA

And a cursory description of the site by the TPWD indicates that unlike the Brownsville Economic Development Corporation's Gilbert Salinas' description of the "negligible footprint" the satellite launch pad, the footprint outlined in the letter is quite noticeable. Rather than add fuel to the fire, let's just say that the propellant for the rockets SpaceX wants to launch is not â€" as Salinas is wont to say â€" like the kerosene you use in your campfire. Instead it is highly refined kerosene, or rocket propellant 1, capable of lifting SpaceX's Falcon 9 or Falcon Heavy with a gross lift weight of some 3.4 million pounds ( a heavy lift class launch vehicle). The rocket's length is just about 230 feet. In other words, it ain't no firecracker. But rather than have Craig Groves call us nay-sayers and alarmists, we'll just allow you to see the document and judge for yourselves whether Salinas is right to call the area "a whole bunch of nothing." Apparently,. he has not been talking with the folks over at TPWD lately to know that there are some two scores of endangered species and unique geographical areas that will be directly impacted by the construction of the facility there and its control area some 1.5 miles away.

BEGUM, GOMEZ, DENISE, CORTEZ GET STOP SPOT ON JULY 31 DEMO RUNOFF BALLOT
---------------------------------------------------------------

Denise Saenz Blanchard drew top spot in her congressional District 34 race against top vote getter Fliemon Vela Jr. Also drawing the top spot was Abel Gomez against Pete Avila in the Precinct 2 Constable's race. Carlos Masso will have the top spot over that of Luis Saenz for the Cameron County District Attorney's office. And Ruben Cortez's name will appear over that of Celeste Zarate Sanchez in the runoff for State Board of Education District 2 race. Vice chair Jarod Hockema conducted the drawing at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Hall Thursday morning. Since the runoff races consisted of only two places, Hockema had only two pieces of folded paper for the candidate or the representative to draw. After the draw for the Demo senate race, Blanchard, sitting at the same table, picked up the number one slot and as Hockema folded the paper, Cortez was approaching the table. When Hockema dropped the No. 1 pot on the table, Cortez snatched it and he got the first spot over Sanchez. Apparently, no one noticed that Cortez had seen that Hockema had just taken the No. 1 folded paper from Blanchard and was in the process of dropping it on the table when Cortez grabbed the same paper and he got the top spot. Many say that the top spot on a ballot automatically gets one about 10 percent of the vote, but in a runoff, when people have already voted for their candidates already, this may not hold. But such obvious handing of a top place to Cortez begs belief. When Begum drew her place from the bowl, she had not seen which was which. But to draw the same top place twice in a row left some thinking that someone was watching over her. "Alguien te esta cuidando," said a supporter afterward. "Either that or you have the best of luck."<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6016803033174468094-1371998865487512870?l=rrunrrun.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>
