09/01/14 EXTREMISTS WATCH THE LUNATIC WEATHER STATION

Like most of you, one of my favorite forms of entertainment and relaxation is to sit down in front of the TV, with a big bowl of popcorn and salsa and a glass of warm milk to watch an evening of uninterrupted weather reporting.

And, like most of you, I have my favorite station and my least favorite station. I choose to watch the weather reports that are always good. After all, if you think negatively, then negative things will happen, right? My station does not tell me about hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunamis, floods, droughts, blizzards, heat waves (though I am concerned about global warming melting the polar ice cap by the end of 2014, per Al Gore). Of course, sometimes I get caught in a torrential downpour, with my umbrella down, but that is because too many people are watching that other station, which is always broadcasting bad weather forecasts. If we could only get everyone to watch "Bright Skies Weather" on station W I S H, then the world would be safe from bad weather.

I have a friend who watches the station that is always talking about bad weather, and my friend has lost his mind. He bought a raincoat, an umbrella, sunscreen, boarded up his house last year when the winds got up to 135 mph (or so they say, wink wink), he avoids the great out of doors when everything is covered with beautiful gold dust and the air is dotted with little white parachutes wafting through the community. Still, my friend does not care that eating hamburgers will cause the North Pole to become a desert in the next several hundreds of years.

As everyone knows, that other station gets some reports right, but who wants to be in hyper-maniac mode all the time, just because of some inconvenient hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunamis, floods, droughts, blizzards, and heat waves?

All I know is, I have enough things to worry about, without the extreme alarmist propaganda of NOAA... (or is that Noah). Actually, Noah was the NOAA of his day, and we all know how that turned out, right?

Oh man, I have to redo this post. It seems the lunatic fringe on the other station might have been right about that severe thunder storm in the area. It just zapped my puter.

To avoid misunderstanding I am NOT talking about The Weather channel. In fact, this has nothing to do with weather.
