Well, Tuesday was a bust but I guess

[Phentex]

there was no choice but to shut everything down and keep everyone off the roads.

There's a pretty good melt going on as I type but I expect things won't be fully back to normal until Saturday.

I just did not understand why all of the local news stations felt it was necessary to stay on the air ALL FRICKIN' DAY?!

1. there's this little thing called a remote control

if you don't like the channel you can change it

welcome to the 21st Century

2. That's pretty rude!

I'm not usually home during the day to even know what's on local channels but it was still STUPID for the news to take over like they did. It wasn't about what *I* was watching.

3. Actually, I was glad WSBTV was on all day

because I wanted to what was happening and what to expect.

4. I didn't see a reason for ALL of them

to keep news on ALL day. Some diversion is helpful, too.

5. There was a lot of Olympic coverage, that was a pretty good diversion

....Surely everyone loves to watch curling. (OK, all kidding aside, I actually find curling somewhat fascinating to watch. I like to think that a 50 something overweight guy could actually do that and be an Olympian).

6. I enjoy curling also, more than, say,

Mogul skiing, which makes my knees and back hurt to watch.

And I keep wanting to redress the 140lb. guys wearing XXXXL snowgear in the slopestyle events. One guy's pants were around his thighs the whole time, his blue boxers showing.
