Probably my most watched channel of all time.

Let's do a top Ten List of:

Why The Weather Channel is better than the news.


10. It's on 24 hours a day with no infomercials.

9. The great muzak that accompanies "Local on the 8s"

"There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke

7. When it rains, it bores.

Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off.

4. Can Know what it is like outside, even if you are stuck in a computer room with no windows. (for hours)

I think this should be number 1, but we haven't reached that number in the list, yet.

3. They occasionally show an interest piece on how different types of weather phenomena affect skydiving, and it's at my home dropzone (Chicagoland Skydiving Center)!

(BTW, the clip can be found at http://www.skydivingmovies.com under the file name weather_chan-atmospheres.)

I have one too:

0. The Weather Anchors are top-notch professional broadcasters, full of intelligent wit and humor.

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

Perfect and done . . .

That was fun!
