   Quote of the Day

The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie -- deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic. Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.

-John F. Kennedy

Hurricane Season

Old people watch the Weather Channel.

This might not be entirely true, but it’s a popular American joke that is at least based in some part on truth. My kids hate the Weather Channel. My parents leave it on as background pseudo-informative entertainment. Most people I know have similar anecdotal evidence that it's a channel for senior citizens.

So... am I old enough to link The Weather Channel Blog? I don’t know for sure, but I think I am going to give it a try for a few reasons.

1) I’m interested in the attempts by conventional media to get into that newfangled internet thing. The Weather Channel has a pretty good website, and it’s possible that their foray into a blog will be interesting. If it’s not, I’ll cut it.

2) Schadenfreude. Man, it’s hurricane season! Every swirl of wind in the Atlantic is like a baseball pitcher kicking the dirt on the mound. As the storm gathers form, it's like the beginnings of the windup. I consider Florida to be the center of the strike zone. Some pitches don't have enough on them to be interesting. Others are beautiful to behold. And occasionally, if one comes too far to the right of the zone, it can hit this batter in his Mid-Atlantic home.

I *love* the Weather Channel. I can't explain why, other than that I've always been fascinated with meteorology.

Oh, and AccuWeather.com has a better blog than TWC.

Are you recommending any one of the blogs at Accuweather in particular?

Once Rammage is well enough to fix our broken blog roll, I will add this link along with TWC. Let them duel it out!
