"Russia just sent a nuclear missile over but first we have a weather alert"

 It's amazing how much time the news devotes to the weather.  At the top of most newscasts these days.  "A house exploded in Brooklyn today but first we have a weather alert."  They constantly catastrophize normal weather patterns.  It's gonna be hot it's gonna be cold it's gonna rain.  So next four days it's gonna be in the 90s up here in the Northeast with some humidity.  OK.  Gotta talk about it every 15 minutes though.  It's not like it's never happened before.  Lots of the more celeb weather people pull in good salaries I guess they gotta put on a show.  Unless there's gonna be a major weather event the weather should be treated  more like sports.  I don't understand the jetstream I just wanna know if I should bring an umbrella with me today or not.

  1. We get tsunami test alerts here. el 1314. dunno. Mrs. is a weather nut, checks the Weather Channer 4-5 times a day. Odd thing, we have had 90+ weather last few days, but this AM had to turn on the gas fire place. Cat was glad. Me - I'm pondering government that seems like brain surgery with a hatchet.

  2. I come downstairs at 3 in the morning last night. Aide had the AC on. Felt like a meat locker but the thermostat set the furnace off. AC and heat going on at the same time. Had to turn the furnace off. Hate to see my energy bill.

  3. Few weeks back got an invitation on my phone for a video chat. No idea who it was. Homan? No text message stating the purpose. Ever wary of scams and identity theft I deleted it. If it was some doctor he'd charge me for an office visit.
