So, at least Fisher is leaving on his own with something else in the works.  I hope all goes well for him in his new job.

$3.29 for me.  It hit the $3.30's for a while but it hasn't gotten any higher this year.

I feel like I'm burning just looking at that.

Banned for giving two reasons in a ban.

Clear and 90 °F.  It's gone up (!) two degrees in the past 30 minutes, even after dark.  There's no wind to help out at all, either.

Starting then, the sun will be on its way back south. Days will get shorter, sun angles will get lower. Not looking forward to the winter solstice.

About the only thing I like about summer is that it's one season away from fall.  It will be just three months till we leave this overheated porch for the fall.  I'm ready for it.

They've been playing a lot of smooth jazz along with the vocals in the last year or two, haven't they?    It's too bad they only just recently stopped playing it this year.

Everything Else TWC / Re: General TWC Discussion

Good grief, I wonder how much money TWC gets for decking their homepage out in these (what I think are) annoying ads.  Maybe that's the money they need to keep vocals on the LOT8s!

I have a great idea! How about having weather be the first thing on weather.com instead of a slide show of stories with some of them not even related to weather.

This must be to weather.com what longform is to TWC.  In light of the potential money trouble, what would be cheaper, weather coverage or longform?  One might say longform is cheaper because it can be rerun over and over; weather coverage is only rerun so many times (it really is, no kidding).  However, there's so much longform that the cost might balance out in the long run.

It must be about priorities.  Evidently, having vocals on the LFs is enough of a priority that TWC had to do whatever they could to get them back on the air.  Did they borrow money?
