    Can't Even trust the Weatherman

    I just checked the weather widget on my desktop. It says the current temperature is 92 degrees !! But both my thermometer outdoors say its more like 62. Either someone at NOAA inverted and flipped the 6 or else we can't even trust the weather man these days.
    I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.

    Stephanie Abrams has really blown up. I wonder if Al Roker has tricked her into making him look slim by comparison?

    I understand that some people don't know how or don't care about correctly setting up the aspect ratio on their new telebisions but even with the proper ratios she has become a wide load in the Weather Channel's trailer park.

    You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.
