In defense of the weatherman

There was an article by a Seattle weatherman about the abuse he was subjected to from the public  If he missed the prediction he got hate mail  If he predicted right and the weather was bad he got hate mail and even death threats as if the weather was his fault
Cute clip from CNN about a Minneapolis news weatherman who finally had enough abuse and blew up on live TV  You got through the ads first

I seen this on another YouTube feed. Everyone has a bad day. Lesson- Don't have a bad day on TV. I can almost feel his pain. Getting negative comments is part of that job, so I think it was a temporary slip. Unfortunate. He probably isn't around anymore unless SNL wants to pick him up as a regular. I could see him fitting that part well. There is something to be said for being real though as opposed to being unreal to be ok with everyone. JMOP.

I was starting to think that I cursed myself on this forum with the vegetarian comments and then even worse being an old girl who can only play the flute and disrupting an elite guys club  Greetings anyway from Dallas TX  I am waiting on the beauty of the lightning storms about to hit us  I have always loved lightning storms

my weatherman said summa cum laudi

Welcome to the Coffee House Jyotishvarii!
Elite guys don't exist here so not to worry about that! 
We that have been here for awhile are on again off again vegiteartians and spellink Bee champeons so you'll fit right in. I play guitar and kinda keyboards. Get in on the Freds( threads/posts) This can be a very intertaining place. 
Most important Have Fun!

This is awful  We did a budget flight out of Dallas  It looked like a good deal  Paid our flight dues and then the airline asked after getting the credit card if we we were planning on sitting down They charged another 17 dollars apiece to sit down  The carry on was a bummer  The jerks progressively set up greater fines as you got closer to the gate  They had boxes outside the gate that if your carry on didnt fit it was over a hundred dollars excess
 
It was inspiring to watch the veteran flyers who knew the ropes  The flight attendant came down the rows offering a bottle of water for 5 dollars  Everyone had tanked up before and were in for a fast  Row after row of passengers with clenched fists denying a steak salad for only 30 dollars
 
Sorry only this is new to me  Where are the friendly skies What the hell happened

I'm retired military. I used to fly commercial in the early 90's but since preferred to site see. In late 2015 I flew to New York from New Orleans to attend my daughters wedding. It was Delta I believe but that doesn't matter . I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Instead of 5 seats in a row with room to move there were 6 cramped ones with barely enough room to turn in. Instead of complimentary snacks, drinks, and pillows there were EVERYTHING outrageously priced EVERYTHING! I had'd even gotten over the boarding procedures when observing this! SO I drive everywhere now

Back in Atlanta for a couple days  Same routine of excessive security  Understand the need for that  Gouging every penny that can be extracted does not compute but feel they have to make a profit  Do these people know what they are doing to their good will reputation
 
I was corrected by my better half that the cost of the water and steak salad was reported by an obese man sitting next to me trying to get comfortable in a chair that could only squash in part of him  The actual price of water and salad may have been less although there were still no takers
 
Spirit Airlines was our friendly skies provider  In all fairness the lady looked away when I was trying to squash my backpack into the box to avoid another hundred dollar charge  It fell 2 inches short of the mandatory fine as much as I was sitting on it  She waved me a blink and told me to get on board

Yes Starise The news is anything but encouraging.
I am still having nightmares about the obese male partially parked in his chair to my left  Falling over and drooling all over me when he fell asleep  It was like being buried in a ton of whale blubber and unsanitary secretions not to mention the gasping snores that shook the plane Thank God there is Clorox to sprays myself down after the flight
My come out of mothballs retirement comeback now has several longer breaks between presentations  We are doing a rental car for the next lap No more friendly skies for now Not worth it
