Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

[beans-on-toast]

Saw the headline on a news story yesterday where the host of a "news" program was encouraging viewers to confront people wearing masks. It was a video story and I didn't have any desire to watch it. Yeah, I'm reporting partial info just like that guy does.

Is the media now saying that masks are a bad thing? I see anti-mask protests in the park. But I think that the same group of people protest just about everything.

It is important to change or wash you mask once in a while. I saw someone with one of those blue filter paper masks, the bottom was black. It looked like maybe it was moldy.

Hold on! You got weather on the Weather Channel?? Every time I turn it on they're running a show about truck crashes. WT7?

LOL! It got to be show biz after NBC, et al. acquired it. IBM owns it now. We used to watch it pretty often before that when they actually did weather, actually. Gotta love that fake basement setup on the Weather Underground segment.

We get most of our severe weather updates from this guy. He used to be on a local TV station and now teaches. He has been extraordinarily accurate. Steve McCauley

Imagine if the Weather Twins had a Tik-Tok account.

If Weather Report were still a band would it now be called Fake News?

Really. You guys are hurting. I saw an article yesterday with a pic of Lake Oroville. It looked more like a wide river in a valley than a lake. Lake Mead has been in trouble for a long time, too.

Here in NorCal, Lake Mendocino is at 40% capacity. This time of the year it should be 90%+. Does not look good for the summer/fall. They are talking about no outside use of water (topping up swimming pool, washing cars, sprinklers, etc.). Firefighters are going to look further for water. If I had my druthers, I would move north for the summer/fall .

Happens all the time to those niche channels. Consider MTV then vs. now.

Only one !@#$ on Fox...

In general, the media is not saying masks are a bad thing or at least the little bit I look at. I need to stop looking at that stuff because I usually get PO'd about something.

The music channels seem to have lost the VJ’s, now they run old TV shows more than music. I suppose that their day has come and gone.

Prolly.

I don’t watch TV news anymore. The lies and hatred are intolerable.

Claims it is child abuse to force children to wear them. Look to that info outlet for more “info”.

I've come up with-and submitted-an idea for helping replenish the lakes-and help alleviate other area's problems. Because I'm not some high paid doctor of anything, I'm ignored.

Do you have a NOAA weather radio?

Today I see rain beyond my live weather portal at my desk. The forest looks pretty green. So this weather portal does seasons, too, in real time. Action is usually kind of slow. Days or weeks or months go by to see significant changes.

Nice clear display ...as it gets flung into the next county.

Does it involve drinking beer and pissing into the lake?

No. A bit more involved that.
Part of my problem is having no effing idea who would be the right people to talk to, or where to find that out.

At which point it would read "see? I told ya."

It takes a village. And a lot of beer.
