THEY BLEW IT AGAIN

They have all the latest electronic gizmos. They have NWS updates. They have the European model and they have the GPS model. They have the models they designed at their own stations. They have all this and they still got it wrong. As late as 5 p.m. yesterday, they told me (personally) that we would be getting 10-14 inches of snow. Schools, (which barely are open anyhow) cancelled whatever in person classes they had. Cities declared snow emergencies and told people they could park in city lots overnight. The Weather Channel folks were the worst--virtually hysterical as they described how bad it would be. And then and then--if there was 3 inches when I woke up this morning, that would be a lot. Don't tell me about all the places that got gigantic amounts of snow. With all their models, they should be able to differentiate between the city and a town ten miles away. As I have said before--if I had done my job this badly, l would have been let go. But all of them are now alerting us to some other MAJOR storm next week. Moving on. --Larry King died last week--and I have an anectdote. Back in the day, a close relative of mine was a journalist for the Miami Herald. He was very SMART and very IMPORTANT. He frequently appeared on King's radio show which broadcast from a houseboat on Indian Creek on Miami Beach. I was allowed to sit in every so often. Way cool. And my memory is that King was very nice. WIOD on your dial. --What I consider a little known fact about the inaugeration--one of the songs sung was by Woody Gluthrie and another was by Leonard Cohen. That was a message from Biden to us about diversity and the new world order. --Did you see Kamala swear in the 3 new male senators? One was Jewish (GA.), one was an African American (GA.). and one was Hispanic (CA.). All of these men sworn in by an Afican/South Asian female Vice President. --Beyond whatever else elections represent, they also mean we are sending people to offices(at the local, state, and national levels) to make decisions. Not to eqiuivocate, not to be wishy washy,and certainly not to complain that they have too many issues to deal with. So it is the old thing about walking and chewing gum at the same time--they apparently cannot multi task and would likely choke on their gum if they were walking. --I am already tired of the media's impatience with Biden. As I write this, he has not been in office for two weeks and some of them are already telling us about his "problems". And, oh my, what impact will this or that have on the 2022 elections. Enough--try and give the man and his extraordinarily bright helpers some time. That woman who does the press conferences makes Kaleigh seem like an infant. --A bunch of revisionist stuff is going on about Deborah Brix. So what if she quietly travelled the country to help state governments deal with the virus. She also stood next to POTUS as he lied his pants off about fake science. --Poor Kelly Loeffler--she lost and is now selling her interest in the Atlanta WNBA team. The same mainly African American women who publicly supported Warnock. --I would pay big bucks to see Rubio battle Ivanka in the Florida Republican primary. A Brief Sports Note Dustin Pedroia was overrated and if his name gets mentioned in a sentence about the Hall of Fame, you red flop fans should be embarassed. Shalom
