Pat O. commented on chantal's event Rain

"In the Midwest (where I lived for decades), a thunderstorm is mostly a nuisance unless it's a tornado or a heavy storm (see Joplin MO for instance). In the Southwest, almost any storm is welcome."

"Rain on 7/20/2011 Downtown. Looks like 12th and Silver where my in-laws lived before they died. They were from Indiana and liked the rain."

"I'm getting in here briefly and then leaving. Darwinian studies are not controversial--plenty of proof since the "Beagle." Opinions not based on the scientific method are not science, and should be removed from the curriculum. If the…"

At 5:28pm on May 18, 2008, Pat O'Connell said…: Hello Pat O'Connell. I am a Pat O'Connell who attended UNM in the late 80's and am a civil engineer. I was working as a consultant to Sandia Labs about 15 years ago. When I went to get a consultant pass, security there tried to give me a super-secret clearance pass - ie give me a pass for different Pat O'Connell's security clearance. Also, the Trib used to do a list of DWI offenders. That wasn't me either. For a relatively small town, there sure do seem to be many of us.
