I spent much of today watching the Weather Channel, and their continuing coverage of the famous Hurricane Dennis. They do know their stuff, but it’s a bit odd to see them so pumped over a potentially catastrophic and deadly storm. You can tell some of them get really excited over it, especially Jim Cantore, who seems to try to be in the perfect position for every storm every hurricane season, and actually appears somewhat disappointed if the storm veers off in a different direction or weakens unexpectedly. I wonder if he has weather groupies that follow him around from storm to storm.
Watching it as much as I have today, I’m keenly aware of two things. It’s amazing how often they repeat the same, incessant commercials…and I really want to get one of these.
