Longtime reader here, Rich. Keep on holding them to account. Sad to see what they’ve been doing to my Bay Area news scene, plugging holes with green bushy eyed talent. Time for news directors to take a firm look downstairs and do some trimming, or they may lose viewers who expect newscasts to be hard not soft. — Dick Indaho, Pleasant Hill
Rich, if the KRONidiots have a problem with CEO Perry Sooks compensation, may I suggest they quit their jobs and go establish a media giant of their own? The enterprise value of NexStar (NXST) is in excess of 12B. Biting the hand that feeds never ends well and everyone is expendable.
Yes. Bay Area weather really never deviates from its innate Mediterranean climate which we do so enjoy. Meteorologists have to talk about something. These atmospheric bands sustained over a lengthy period are cause for concern. The ground is already saturated, flooding is inevitable as well as the annual gratuitous live reporting from the rising San Anselmo creek. Marinites watching with baited breath for it to crest.
Now, as far as the morons that go out in the surf, hike along the cliffs and ignore all general advisories. Tough shit! You're on your own and if the city/county has to come rescue your dumbass, the cost related should be passed on to YOU! I believe this has already been implemented in Kauai. The locals got tired of constantly rescuing stupid haoles who thought that the laws of nature don't apply to them. Selfish idiots are also jeopardizing the lives of the responders.
Anyway, keep up the good work, curmudgeon that you are.
Having been in one of the worst blizzards in modern NYC history, as Chinese restaurants were closing, and finally finding one that was open, it too, closed, after we were done with lunch, shortly after everyone's phones buzzed with emergency alerts that all vehicles had to leave the roads by 2pm. So contrary to popular belief, there can be a time where food delivery is quite limited (although if I searched hard enough, maybe, just maybe, there would have been a couple of places open to walk some to-be-frozen food to someone).
Russian River overflows regularly when heavy rains hit…the area called Venado, west of Healdsburg, is as wet or wetter than nearby Cazadero, Boulder Creek, Mt Tam, Big Sur. Hence Guerneville and Monte Rio get flooded pretty frequently. Maybe the news folks should broadcast at the mouth of the Russian River so folks can see all the plastic entering the Pacific Ocean.

ReplyDeleteSpot on @1:42. Wish some of these stations had execs unafraid to deliver it honest and rough to these doe eyed, Tori Gaynes types, Dick Indaho style!

ReplyDeleteOr, as the esteemed Frank Mallicoot referred to it, "San Assleemo."
