1000%

And…”Be safe”, “Stay safe”, “Be careful”, “For your safety”…I can see a mom saying it but men need to stop telling each other to be safe when the action is inherently NOT safe, i.e., about to hit a door on a SWAT raid, jumping out of a perfectly good airplane, hunting for elk in the snow in the Rockies…

Well then it’s just properly calculated caution and not “an abundance.”

It doesn’t sound very confidence inspiring to say “with a properly calculated degree of caution….”

Irish Channel was cancelled "out of an abundance of caution" for weather.

How do you cancel an entire neighborhood? Please tell us the Garden District remains intact.

Lol. True. Like the Hand Formula in law: we’ve come up with just the right number of deaths. Thank you regular customer.

Well, I use out of an abundance of caution but what I am doing a mistake can kill a person... so out of an abundance of caution I will use an abundance of caution when I feel and abundance of caution is necessary.

Now, the pussies you are talking about, I get the sentiment.

Remember when you were a kid and you just got wet at school sometimes, events just got rained on sometimes?

Thats right you don't because you'd be dead now.

Agreed. It’s chicken little. You can always make an excuse Not to do something. My opinion, you can’t live your life in fear. Remember those shirts from my early 20’s ‘No Fear’

With minimal regard for concern, maybe an abundance of caution is not the way to go?

I don’t know why we must do this- - but out of an abundance of caution, I’m in

It’s past 5, and we haven't seen a drop of rain. Doubt we will all day.

Weather nerds are the worst. Wish I could spam Fradella.

Hope they feel good about themselves.

How much money did the city lose due to the incompetence of these nerds?

Has to be north of 350k.
