Weather is shaping up to be particularly nasty this evening.  Those traveling please do be careful if you absolutely must travel.

Clark Howard was talking about an interesting check scam that I've never heard of before when they broke in on KRMG.

FAIL.

hehe, I was running my computer up until lightning stuck close enough that me and the dogs all jumped about a foot in the air.  At that point I promptly clicked save, and shut down.

I called Frank all sorts of names last night.  20 minutes in, I was proclaiming that we didn't really need Bartlesville or Hogshooter, anyway.  They should have just started where they left off in the episode and done the news late, but I guess they have to have permission to do that.  You can't suck people into a show like that and then not show the whole season finale, especially when the season finale of that show has become such a big deal.

I guess I'll have to rent this season's Lost collection when it comes out.  I missed the last six weeks or so with my house project.  I heard it was great last night.

The parts I watched were pretty good.  You can probably still catch up on all season at ABC.com.

My only complaint is that there are almost too many layers and too many peculiar things to remember.  Somebody is always turning out to be something else, someone is always getting the rug pulled out from under them.  Time travel stories sort of bring that with them.  I watch the show, often twice over, and I totally forgot about the guy in the van who kidnapped Miles ended up on the island with that Illana chick.  Just once, I'd like the something like the smoke monster to turn out to be some ride leftover from an amusement park in New Jersey.

I could just never get into that show; but admittedly I'm not a big TV watcher (save for my playoff hockey right now).

I'm sure people probably could not explain my fandom of the new BSG OR X-Files (up until the last two seasons, which I thought sucked).  I couldn't really watch the last season of BSG because of all the pent up tension between Starbuck and Apollo.  Jeez.

Frank Mitchell's "egg sized hail coming right at us" claim made me change channels.

The other weather folk I saw stayed relatively calm and didn't go shooting their gasms all over the "Doppler by god machine".

Is it just me, or does anyone else think Frank Mitchell looks and sounds like a Dana Carvey caricature?

Got quite a bit of rain at my house at 26 & Yale, but winds were relatively mild and practically no hail.  I keep telling myself that the TV weathermen serve most of NE OK, not just Tulsa metro.  I have to keep telling myself that over & over to tolerate them.

Interesting that now with digital air broadcast, both Ch 2 and Ch 8 have 24-hour weather channels (2.2 & 8.2), yet they do not utilize these channels for their storm coverage.  They could keep uninterrupted shows from the network feeds on their primary channel, confine their weather babbling to the weather channels, and make a lot of people very happy in the process.  Maybe after analog is shut off in June, they will do this but I wouldn't hold my breath.

FOTD

Terrific storm last night....you could feel the thunder. Reminded me of Phil Lesh's bass back in the day.
