Apparently, Nick Walker can't pronounce my county's name. I wasn't aware my county suddenly changed from Ingham to "Ingrum".......

Tornado watch just issued. Looks like a fun day for GRLevelX programs.

Yep, I finally got to see the bulletins page appear immediately after the LF opener on the 4:20 PM EDT LF!    What does the second sentence mean?

I really don't like what NBC's doing to TWC.

No one does!

I love cloudy and miserable daze.

Daze? You spelled that one right.

That is actually how I spell that one in most instances, but I did it on purpose this time

Well, does anyone here have any summer getaways?

Mine will be in late July. We'll be going up I-95 back to Richmond, VA for a day. Then we leave to go to NYC for two days (by getting there on the NJ Turnpike). After we leave NYC, we'll be in Richmond for another day. Then after we leave Richmond, we (my family) will be going to Chincoteague Island, VA for a couple of days.

Sorry Martin, looks like I'll be going through Norfolk on my way to Chincoteague.

I will be able to get IS and WxScan clips from Richmond on my tuner, IS clips from NYC on my camera (I don't wanna lose my laptop in a big place ), and whatever STAR is on Chincoteague, I will capture that one.

I am going down to the ATL in August, and possibly a few other undisclosed locations (let's leave them a surprise).
Have fun on your trip Zach!

Here are my views:
Nah, weather doesn't really need to be extreme and/or exciting. Weather here in Michigan is great 

Comcast is a great cable company, and provides awesome service, going above and beyond what the FCC regulates them to do.

I love cloudy and miserable daze. In fact, I really like so-called "Extended Miserable Periods", when 3-4 daze go by that I do not see the sun, and rain is always light.

I'm really worried about this summer.   I've had no luck with the job hunt yet, and it's been really lonely around Albany lately now that school is out.

Patrick, I am really sorry you are not having much luck. I do wish you luck, and my condolences are with you
