The Weather Channel

I'm one of those who watch TWC when I'm getting ready in the morning on a trip. No, it's not certified aviation weather, but it's quick, simple and you can get a decent idea of what awaits you for the day all in the time you spend getting dressed in the morning. Perfect for when you're constantly waking up in different cities across the country.

Now, I'm not the biggest Stephanie Abrams fan, I'll admit. I don't "hate" her or anything like that, but sometimes, well... I watch TWC with the mute button on. She's got a LOT of energy, no doubt. But sometimes, the things that come out of her mouth... Wow. "The overnight lows will be around 45 degrees tonight with the slight chance of rain in the early morning hours. Hey Al! Look at this cloud right here! It reminds me of a dump I took last week! Yeah, with that taper on the end! That one really burned too! Oy Vey! Now, let's look at today's weathermaker..."

I'm not saying she's not qualified to do her job. She indeed is. However, it's those little instances, with little or no notice, where she starts spewing out random shit that drives me nuts. This morning, she was talking about tornadoes and showing a map of all the funnel cloud sightings from the previous day. Then I hear, "You know, thunderstorms are like big families. You have your really rockin' storms that make tornadoes, and then some other ones over here that are quiet and don't do much... which kind of storm are you?" WHAT IN THE HELL???? I am watching Reading Rainbow or something???

Ms. Abrams does have a lot of energy and she's not at all unattractive. Some people might think those are the reasons she has her job on a morning TV show. She has an education and background in meteorology as well, so it seems like that explains it.

But, I just felt that might not count for all of the appeal. Then... it hit me. She kinda looks like pornstar, Tiffany Minx! Yes! Maybe that's the final seal of approval. She's smart, energetic, pretty, and no matter what comes spewing out of her mouth, guys can watch TWC and envision things spewing in her mouth. Yeah, I can't believe I wrote that either...

Well, glad I finally got that one figured out. Time to get to the airport...
