Has anybody here wanted to go to the WPVI-TV studio tour in Philly?

I always wanted to go to Philly to visit the WPVI-TV studios
Absolutely, even though it's obvious your preference is WNEP-TV. :twothumbs:

I like their current studio, especially that glass city structure and backdrops.

He's not a meteorologist, just a weathercaster. Dave's the only one who doesn't have the degree to be considered a meteorologist.

My favorite is David Murphy. He's the only one who talks weather professionally, IMO.

I think Anita Brikman is the hottest anchor on WpVI. ♥

She was okay. Anita left earlier this year and was replaced with Ali Gorman. My grandmother knows Ali's mom.

My aunt has cancer. :o  :( (Not the same aunt from a while ago) She has something in her chest, by her lungs, that is cancerous. Luckily, they can easily get rid of it.

I guess that's what happens when you smoke for 30 years.  :hmm:

Yep, that's exactly what happens. I had a neighbor, who was also a very good friend, who smoked for many years and ended up with Lymphoma in the summer of 2001. He died the summer of 2002.

Let that be a lesson to all the young people here. Smoking is no good for you. Don't ever do it.

OMG, the past 4 times I've tried to record the 4000 emulator, all times it froze at some point during the LF. :angry: :censored: It's been doing this occasionally the past month or so, but it never did it before then. :wacko: I don't know what's wrong with it. :shrug:

*kicks emulator* <_<

It just freezes? No errors or anything?

I've seen reports of that happening at Taiganet's forum.  :yes:

BTW, Mike, I heard something this afternoon about a real bad accident somewhere up there in Jersey. Was it anywhere near where you are?

The one about the overturned crane? That's in Hamilton, not anywhere really closeby (about an hour or so north).

I haven't heard of this incident.
