I'm going to say it's an Earl-like storm as heads towards the U.S. (for now).

I got a couple paper routes a few weeks ago... The only thing I hate about it is waking up TOO early Sat/Sun, and also this morning.   

Wow I didn't know you could still get paper routes without a car. Ive always thought of it as a neat little job to do

Yeah, it's a good job to do for early teens. The ones you need for a car are the routes in the country, where the houses are hundreds of yards apart. Another driving route is delivering the bundles of papers to the carriers. (That pays about 1,800/month) My routes pay about $200 a month and have around 45 customers total.

Local Forecast / When Did Your Older STAR Get Upgraded To The IntelliStar?

« on: September 05, 2010, 07:44:56 PM »

I decided to start this topic to try and have a better idea when IntelliStar's were installed in cable systems.
Please include these 4 things:

- Cable Provider at the time
- Location at the time
- IntelliSTAR ID at the time
- Time when the IntelliSTAR was installed. (If you don't know the exact day, that's absolutely fine, just include the month and/or year.)

For my IntelliStar (at the time):

-Comcast
-Monroe, MI
-22228
-April 2004

Enjoy and thank you for participating!

Local Forecast / Weather Star XL Part Number

« on: September 05, 2010, 07:15:11 PM »

Does anyone by chance happen to know the part number for the Weather Star XL? I've recieved an e-mail asking me the exact part number for the XL. (The general number given to all the XL's, not the one specifically for an individual XL.)
Thank you!

On the 7 PM hour of WC, a lower third said that Earl was currently a Category 4 hurricane. But it's currently just a cat 3.

On Wednesday Night, when Earl was a Cat 4, one of the bars said: Catagory 5.

I don't think Earl will prompt Storm Alert, but TWC will most likely go into a Hurricane Alex-like state. Locals at :28 and :58, "red" mode will continue.
I doesn't look like the east coast will get much more than some storm surge, spotty flash flooding, beach erosion, and minor structural damage to homes.
