Reply #1: I've had to watch local news for the last couple of weeks

[Warpy]

because my area has been socked with one snowstorm after another, an area that rarely gets snow in the valley, only on the mountains where it belongs.

I was much happier over the last 2 years when I didn't have to watch it at all.

I did see part of the Ford necrophilic extravaganza but with the sound off, as always. It's much more informative to concentrate on body language rather than the pompous lies coming out of their mouths.

I'll be delighted to go back to Simpson's reruns as soon as this run of rotten weather is over. I'm sure my mood will improve greatly.
