Thumbs up, thumbs down

Clocks stop at big game, time waits for space telescope, and baseball and weed don’t mix.

Talk about a big bang. Thanks to another delay, the James Webb Space Telescope, which originally had a budget of $1 billion, is likely to breach its current $8 billion cap. And in a timespace anomaly we’re sure only the guys at NASA understand, the original launch date of 2007 now sits in the early 2020s. Houstonians looking for a temporal anomaly closer to home only had to watch the Rockets play against the L.A. Clippers on Wednesday. Time stood still when James Harden crossed Wesley Johnson onto the floor and then — for three seconds that seemed to last a lifetime — just stared at him. And then sunk a perfect 3-pointer. For those checking, the Rockets were undefeated in February . Just don’t try the Rocky Mountain High method of slowing down or speeding up the passage of time — especially if you’re trying to get onto the Texas Wesleyan University baseball team. Apparently their coach told an aspiring player from Colorado — where marijuana is legal — that he didn’t recruit from the state because players there fail drug tests. "You can thank your liberal politicians,” coach Mike Jeffcoat said in an email last month. He was fired this week. Maybe the next coach will know how to mellow out, man. The clock is ticking until primary Election Day on Tuesday, which means the last round of campaign donation disclosures to the Texas Ethics Commission. Among the cash and inkind donations — such as food, event space or legal advice — one item bucks the usual trend: deer semen. Ana Lisa Garza, a district court judge in Starr County in the Valley, reported accepting at least 40 semen straws, valued at $51,000. They were evidently part of an auction fundraiser for the Democratic incumbent, and people pay top dollar for the genetic material of big-point deer.
