Wow. I just learned something from watching the local news:
Sometimes, it SNOWS in Chicago!
What a bunch of troglodytes we have for a news media here. Tomorrow is December 1 and to ring in the new month we are going to be socked good by a major snowstorm, maybe even a blizzard. If you watch the news, you'd think it never happened before.
Let's go live to a local hardware store and see what people are buying! Snow shovels? Salt? A snowblower or two? WOW! I'd think lawn mowers would be HOT this time of year, you know, gifts for your favorite lawn care professional.
Over at the grocery store, people are stocking up on water and other assorted types of food? You're kidding! I would think that with the impending storm that folks would be making dinner reservations at restaurants all over the city. Who wants to be stuck inside cooking in winter weather?
I actually heard someone on a broadcast this afternoon say "Don't go outside tomorrow without a jacket." Can I still bring my SPF 3,212?
But the best news coverage will come when the storm is over, and your faithful roving reporter will head out to the side streets of the city to report on what people are using to "save" parking spots that they have shoveled out for themselves. I can't wait to see the assortment of lawn chairs, card tables, and garbage cans.
Remind me again why I have a television?
