Dreck

You would think an area of this size would have some decent TV/Radio/News options. We don't.

We have dreck. Dreck is a Yiddish word that is defined as garbage and dirt. This Bay Area is dirty. Sure, I can see and hear, read a few morsels of average to above-average exceptions but by and large, it's dreck and boy, what a lot of dreck.

The usual suspects stick out. If you read me enough, you know who and what. I don't have to pick them out, you all know.

I'm just amazed (call me naive) how dredful it is around here. Maybe I should say, "dreckful"--that's appropriate. Because how else, what else is there to say?

Case closed.

KTVU? About as dead as ever. KGO Radio? Limping and lame. KRON? Barely comatose. Circle7? God help em--but they're building a better Bay Area. KPIX? Are you serious? Yawn.

SF Chronicle? For a high-school newspaper, a D-minus.

SFGate? The net version of Highlights (the magazine at the dentist's office, 1974 edition)

*I'm in a bad mood. Heat doesn't translate to tranquility. If I wanted a little Palm Springs, I'd have moved there. I need Seattle in January. Now.

Talk later.
