On Friday's show: We learn the latest on freezing weather headed our way and get tips on how to prepare our homes and plants.

Also this hour: There’s no shortage of opinion in our world. Folks are more than happy to share their thoughts -- often in plain and not very impressive prose and usually in reductive and pithy sentences, memes, or emojis. That leaves us wondering: are we losing our ability to write compelling, elaborate, clearly thought-out, persuasive essays? Have we abdicated quality discourse in favor of "hot takes?"

Then, from Gov. Abbott turning his fundraising war chest on fellow Republicans who opposed vouchers, to Houston earning high marks for hosting the college football championship, our non-experts weigh in on The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of the week's news.

And we learn about some of the items from The Kinsey African American Art & History Collection that are on display at Holocaust Museum Houston beginning today through June 23.
