I think that was the same forecast last weekend. You may have noticed, we did not get blasted by snow and freezing rain.
I admire weather forecasters, I really do. They try to predict what an unpredictable force will do three or four days from now. It has to be a difficult job. They have nowhere to hide when the forecast goes horribly off, like last weekend. I make fun of their inaccuracies, but still watch.

Speaking of watching, I tuned in the Green Bay Packers game last week and was surprised by the halftime news report from the Rockford station airing the game. Free rides New Year’s Eve were offered, the Bears lost, and the temperature was going to be 50. News that was two weeks old at the time. And they wonder why people like me want to watch Chicago stations.

I think we need to start a pool on what will go into the former Nippon Sharyo building. Sold for $15 million to an unknown LLC, you would think there would be some announcement of a plan for the building.
