Five Murdered, >/= 21 Injured in West Texas Shooting
Three police officers among the wounded. A crazy, random shooting that began at an intersection. The murderer was shot and killed.
FT Georgia State 38 Tennessee 30

Georgia State 38, Tennesssee 30, F. Not as close as the final score would indicate. This is what the Vols fans wanted when the took charge of the hiring and firing, right?

That's it. The #Vols lose to Georgia State, 38-30, to start their second season under Jeremy Pruitt on an ugly note.

Georgia State hands Tennessee its first loss in a home season opener since 1983.
The Vols were 25-pt favorites.
Entering today, SEC teams had won 82 straight as a favorite of 25 or more pts.
It's the largest loss by an SEC team in the last 40 seasons when favored by 25+ pts.

Premier League
Only one match left to be played, Liverpool at Burnley.
Manchester United drew at Southampton 1-1. United had a man advantage for the final 17' but couldn't win it.
Swine Chelsea blew a 2-0 lead at the Bridge against Sheffield United. The "Blades" tied it on an own goal in the 89'.
Palace 1 Villans 0.
Lester 3 Bournemouth 1.
Rooks got another point at St. James against 'Arry the Elk 'Ornet.
Hammerheads 2 Tweety Birds 0.
Aymeric Laporte had to be stretchered off today for City. That is a defensive blow.

8/31 8 AM EDT: There's been a notable change overnight to the forecast of #Dorian after Tuesday. It should be stressed that the new forecast track does not preclude Dorian making landfall on the Florida coast, as large portions of the coast remain in the track cone of uncertainty

"Of course,"
Hurricanes are terrible things that destroy billions of dollars of property and kill thousands of people.
"Of course."
"But maybe,"
If we continue to build homes and communities and cities and live in hurricane disaster areas it's a tiny bit our fault.

All hurricane, all the time. I walked out my door this morning, the condo association president is talking to two older women residents. "Are you evacuating?" After court I went to a restaurant to get pick-up, a lawyer friend of mine was there. "How you doin' Pat?" "Ugh. Just watching this thing trying to decide what to do." It's the only thing on people's minds, the only thing we talk about, and it's going to be that way for a full week. All hurricane, all the time: tedious, numbing, draining.
Put this down to things a weird guy notices. I got out of the shower this morning and looked out my bedroom windows and saw complete, utter stillness. Not a breath of wind to stir even the top-most leaves, nor that little bird perched there. Nor was it a fleeting moment. It is still utterly motionless.

The Story Must Be Told
This is a very interesting piece on Hurricane Dorian. Imagine: an historical, analytical article on a hurricane! This is why this is the Washington Post.

By stipulation President George W. Bush suffered a frisson of the moment that no president ever suffered on 9/11/01. I ran across these photographs today on Publocc as I was searching I now forget what. This first, the famous photograph in the Florida school when Andrew Card has given him the news. Bush is a million miles away.
These were taken when he arrived back in Washington. They are exquisitely painful to view and the heart, any human heart, instinctively empathizes with the cataclysm he now faces and the pained, dazed emotions of the man.
Good night.

Cheney is looking deeply into Bush's psyche. Is he processing information or is he consumed with grief yet.
Consumed with worry. Cheney gives him some distance.
Staring at the television images.
Numb. Lost.
Bush has separated himself from the others. Andrew Card is worried about him and is keeping an eye on him.
Never was there a president more alone in the moment than Bush.
Years later, a Bush self portrait, alone in the shower, examining his soul.
My heart breaks for the man.
The New @FoxNews is letting millions of GREAT people down! We have to start looking for a new News Outlet. Fox isn’t working for us anymore!
