My cardiologist just asked if I'd been experiencing any stress lately.

Katy Tur on "Take Your Kids to Work Day"

In case you missed it, Katy Tur delivered this amazing segment for "Take Your Kid to Work Day":

After watching that it occurred to me that she had parents who demonstrated how to be good people, an example that Donald Trump has never modeled for his own offspring. Maybe he sensed that Katy was following that good example, and maybe that contributed to his very vocal disdain for her.

Well done, Katy, and same to your parents!

Apparent link between Anadarko-owned gas well and fatal Firestone home explosion

Despite news reports surmising that faulty plumbing work led to last week’s fatal house explosion in Firestone, it looks as though a leaky Anadarko gas line may have been the cause.

In a statement this afternoon, the company acknowledged that it operates a vertical well that’s about 200 feet from the newly built house on Twilight Avenue that exploded April 17, killing brothers-in-law Mark Martinez and Joseph William Irwin III, both 42, and severely injuring Erin Martinez, Mark’s wife.

The Frederick-Firestone Fire Protection District and the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission are investigating the explosion.

THIS IS IN WELD COUNTY COLORADO, WHERE THERE ARE MORE THAN 21000 OIL/GAS WELLS. ANADARKO OWNS AND OPERATES THOUSANDS OF FRACKING WELLS IN THE COUNTY.
