The National Weather Service robot lady sounds
as stupid today as she did when I was a kid.
Hopefully the money they’ve saved not updating their voice technology
has been spent on state of the art storm tracking, or whatever, but she doesn’t
inspire much confidence.
On a related note, the stupid robot
lady at the National Weather Service came on the TV and said that because of a
huge thunder storm system moving through the area, people in my county should
move to higher ground. I thought about that
for a minute, but I was upstairs in my house, and I realized that she was just
goofing on me. Good to know that they
have a sense of humor over there at the National Weather Service.
On another related note, I think
that the National Weather Service ought to offer a broader fundamental message
along with their periodic situation-specific advice. I think they should regularly remind everyone
to “build on higher
ground.”

It’s so hard to get bird poop off a car; they
ought to make car paint out of it.

It’s important to accept your limitations. I saw a local want ad posted online tonight. It was titled, “Writting Tutor Needed”.

I think “Namaste” is a cool expression, or
salutation. It translates to a humble
statement, “I bow to your form”.
Ironically, some people use the expression constantly, and seem to want
very much to change its meaning to “Please notice and validate me; I’m very pretentious.”
