Last night was a good night to see the Perseid Meteor Shower, but not the best. I made a mistake in that I read that Sunday was the best time….well, after midnight is Sunday, right? Well, as it turns out, Sunday night and Monday morning is the peak for this years shower. Hope you didn’t strain your eyes too much. If it makes you feel any better, Snow White and I ventured out until nearly 2 in the morning to see the show and we saw a few meteors, but not what we expected. As Porky Pig would say, “sorry about that folks.” But the same viewing conditions apply for tonight so have at it. I thought of editing yesterday’s message to make it look like I knew it all along, but my staff and I believe in honesty and I”m not a politician, I’m a Meterologist and I know you all expect honesty and integrity from your weather reports.
Seriously, my humble apologies.
I bet somehow or another, if one were to look close enough at it, you could find Steve Burgen’s fingerprints all over this one!
Yup. I bet that bird set you up with some misleading information and then changed it back after the fact. I think he’s after your job, Bob.
Everybody that knows anything knows the weatherman (or woman, Kim
)is the real star of the whole show! It ain’t to hard to hard to predict the news, it’s always what they hand you on those typed pages, but the weather is whole other animal.
You have to know all kinds of technical stuff. Things like:
* How high does it have to be before it ain’t a lo anymore?
* The difference between warm and hot and where to draw the line.
* How many interns does it take to screw a wet bulb in?
* How can you have a front without a back?
* How many types of rain dances are there and when do you use each one? (btw, you might need to brush up on this skill, Bob, might be a little off this year, I bet Jay could give you some pointers…just sayin’)
The list just goes on and on…
Watch your back, ol’ Buddy and keep your eyes on those little beady ones across the studio floor there, especially if there is a smile under ‘em! That’s a dead giveaway that you’re fixin’ to catch it again.
