Blogging As The Sky Falls Down


So yesterday in my blog I complained about how the weather people were always wrong. Well, I’m still right about that basic observation, but the one’s working on the local tv station did a fantastic job last night as ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE and, yes, the winds came, the tornadoes came, the thunder and lightning came. They did something that I think will morph into something bigger in years to come: a blog that was constantly updated as people wrote in with questions about specific areas being hit by the impending weather. You could read the answers and scroll up to see if the question you were wondering about was answered earlier. Fantastic idea. Of course, I could see this on cellphones (at no extra cost) in the future.

Todays WHAT THE HECK??? My podcast yesterday (at http://michaelmatthews.podomatic.com OR http://michaelmatthews.mypodcast.com OR just to the right in that column there). I went to start the show, and when I start I don’t like to stop. It’s only 30 minutes so what the heck, I should be able to get through it. The majority of cerebral palsy children are diagnosed in the first wholesale cialis instance. In intake of any drugs one need to seek a guidance of the doctor; since, they are the people tadalafil lowest price who assist patients with recovering from painful physical conditions causing exhausting physical restrictions. Though still a lot of research needs to be conducted to check viagra 25 mg the function of the nerves. You can procure 4T Plus capsule and Mast Mood buy cialis bought here oil are the best examples of it. However, all the thunder rumblings and lightning flashes coming through my window overlooking the Messy Desk TOTALLY THREW ME OFF!!! Not to mention, like an idiot, I didn’t turn my lights on. It was 4:30, why should I? It’s summertime basically so we should have light outside till 6. But no! When severe weather is on top of your head there’s generally not so much illumination. So much for getting through that snap bang article about Kava, the drink from Fiji.

So to sum up for today’s minute, these are tough times. I’m hatin’ on the shrinking local media outlets, but not on the hard-workin’, on-the-front-lines people who are giving it all they’ve got to give us as much of the same service as we had once upon a time when those same businesses had twice or three times the staff. I salute you my brothers…ex-brothers since I’m out of that biz.

And here’s to you, you hard workin’ individual who found time to actually read this blog. Enjoy the weekend, you deserve it!

Calibama Weather Poorcasts


Let me quote for you the weather forecast as of 7pm last night:

A strong storm system will kick off showers and thunderstorms as early as tomorrow (Thursday) morning. Some heavy rain is possible as well as strong wind gusts.

Let’s look outside shall we? This morning, right now, there is sun so blinding I’ve had to tip my window shades. Not a cloud in the sky. WHAT THE HECK???

Back in California, no one could get the forecast right either. There’s a guy named Fritz Coleman, who’s been doing the tv news weather forecast for at least 30 years and even had a slogan “Fritz said it would be like this.” We never went by what he said. In California, since everyone is spoiled, it’s just assumed we’re going to have sun, but how much HAZE are we going to have? And along with that, how much smog? Maybe it was asking too much of poor Fritz, but we could hardly go by anything he said.

Here in Alabama it’s ten times worse! I know this because I was on the other end of that doppler radar. The information is so sketchy, all you get is a couple arrows and lines and an occasional triangle. Take the Medication Half an Hour before Intercourse Sildenafil tablets should be taken cialis generico uk at least half an hour before you intend having sex. So in spite of getting stressful because of this disorder simply choose this drug to win over acquisition de viagra this health ailment. Here are some of the supplements that are available as well as cialis sales australia the varying prices. Nowadays a lot of people need this viagra professional price medicine get it today . Of course, you would think my local tv could get the best meteorologist they can to interpret this. No! Radio and tv stations locally, probably all over the country by this point, just rip and read (now cut and paste) whatever’s on the AP weather wire, and that ain’t based in my town!

Times are hard. My local media, newspaper included, is holding on by a thread. Not to mention, the old media model has been shifting for years now and is finally coming to a head: tv stations are cleaning house, radio stations ARE being run completely by ONE person, newspapers are migrating to online and downsizing to a 3rd of their size in the process. Meanwhile, the weather is better predicted by that little yellow almanac you bought at Lowe’s.

That’s my minute. Gotta go out and enjoy the sunny day.

Germany Travel Tips WHAT THE HECK?!?


I have been waiting for a very, very long time to go back to Germany. You see, I have relatives there on my mom’s side and I have been wanting to go back with my wife of almost 5 years and my mom of, well, my entire life. Yes, she will sort of be the interpreter but she is also someone whom I think Germany is not the same without. I went back 22 years ago with a friend of mine and he and I had fun, but mom adds a different dimension. She’s a tour guide and a, well, mom all in one!

Booking the flight was easy! Air fare there (now that’s a rhymey sentence) is shockingly low right now. You see the adds pop up everywhere from Facebook to your gmail. Getting a passport can be a little tricky, but my wife and I took care of that a few years ago (around the time Mexico said they were needing to see passports…not that I was on a Tiajuana run).

Now today’s WHAT THE HECK??? If you want to rent a car in Germany YOU CAN’T GET AN AUTOMATIC! That is, unless you double the amount you’re paying for the rental. Numerous men experience occasional failure for achieving a penile http://deeprootsmag.org/category/videos/page/2/ cialis samples erection that is fundamental for sex. Various transplantation centers have a disciplinary committee to buy levitra from canada make a decision on the waiting list. The most acknowledged sorts join levitra australia , Kamagra, Penegra, Zenegra, Edegra, caverta etc. Therefore to keep the heart function safe we need to adopt this solution that can spare your life from experiencing these fatal order cheap cialis deeprootsmag.org heart dysfunctions. That means roughly everybody from 28 years of age to 0 can’t drive over there (unless they don’t want any brautwurst spending money). I have also noticed crazy rates on car rental insurance which just about everyone needs since it most often is not covered in your normal insurance plan. Oh, and air conditioning? EXTRA! This almost feels like Hawaii: everything comes with a price tag.

I’m also told ketchup in a FAST FOOD RESTAURANT will cost you extra. That’s great for my diet since now I won’t step foot in any of them over there, but do you see a pattern here?

Why the animosity towards us? Is this all W’s fault? And by the way, what’s with everyone poking fun at Geitner’s delivery and blaming the market’s fall on such? Do you remember the last president? At least the current administration is making corrections. Everyone’s gotta complain about something. Which is what I’m doing till right NOW since my minutes over…bye!
