On Thursday's show: Greater Houston may have dodged a bullet in terms of widespread flooding when Tropical Storm Arthur bypassed our region on its way to Louisiana, but it has left with us some extreme heat. We get an update and an explanation from meteorologist Justin Ballard of the Houston Chronicle.

And we get details on former Fort Bend County Judge KP George's sentencing for his money laundering conviction.

Also this hour: How do we know when an older adult might need help at home, professional care, or a different living arrangement? We discuss the ins and outs of elder care.

Then, amid its initial public offering last week, SpaceX set some pretty lofty goals, including future colonization of Mars. Space scientist Scott Soloman of Rice University explains why he thinks those goals are not feasible -- and even unethical.
