It's snowing in Buffalo, New York, and it's cold in Nebraska. And, wow, it's only December. Who would have thought that the country would actually experience cold weather at this time of year? So much for global warming. . .
Maybe I should have begun with a sarcasm warning, but one of my pet annoyances with the news media is when they decide to waste air time on stating the obvious and treating something that isn't exactly news as if it's something truly earth shattering, a unique event we're never going to see again. And they do it every year. I was quite willing to view the snow falling in Houston, Texas, a few days ago as a news event, because you don't expect it to snow there. But snow in Buffalo? But that turned out to be the lead story on the evening news. Unreal.

Amusing things I heard today
This one tops them all:
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is running television ads touting the airport as a destination in and of itself. Shop, Dine, and Explore. Oh yes, be still my heart. It's all I can do to restrain myself from running for MARTA to spend 45 minutes traveling to the opposite side of the city to spend an enjoyable evening shopping at a newstand and eating an over-priced Wendy's hamburger.
