I was just trying to be funny, as if that's the only thing we can afford to do, and the tractors are sitting unsold long enough to have the tires rot. I could have said John Deer but the dealer is too far away to walk to.

Things are going to get more business friendly before anything gets better.

Hey, leave the Deere alone now. I work at that place...... ;):)

The stinkin' Bears. If they had won tonight, they would have clinched the division title and a playoff spot. Instead, they rolled over and played dead for the Eagles, and got humiliated. Now the Bears have to beat the Packers next week to win the division. If they lose, they're out of the playoffs.

Geez... talk about choking in a big game. It was pathetic.

The Packers lost, the Lions lost...seems NO one wants to win the NFC North...

Weather forecasters. These guys make a lot of money, and half the time I might as well flip a coin to guess the weather, rather than look at a forecast. A LOT of what I'm doing at the moment is weather-critical, and I NEED to know with some certainty what will happen within the next 24 hours.

The National Weather Service used to be really good, but I think they must have fired everyone who actually knew what they were doing...maybe as a cost saving ploy?

Sure wish I could only get MY work right half the time and still get paid.

Whine whine whine.

But remember... predicting the weather, as sophisticated as it has become, is still basically predicting the future. No way you can be right all the time.

Yes I did buy from him before, and recently too! I did find a way to contact the seller, and we both left positive feed back. I'm still waiting for a response.

I think computer modeling has improved forecasting data, but the meteorologist still has be skilled at interpreting it. Too many media forecasters just "plug and play." The good ones, and there are some, are true weather enthusiasts who do their own analysis and professional enough to explain their degree of confidence if they don't have enough info to make a concrete prediction at air time.

Maybe cut down the celeb appearances.

Then you have the Weather Channel which is pretty much 'weathertainment'--they seem to hype the drama more than provide the facts. Though I really don't pay attention much to the weather forecasts here--it is so predictable..sunny and dry 90% of the time.

Doing weather forecasting in Arizona has to be about the most boring job ever.

Tonight: Dry and warm.

Tomorrow: Sunny, dry, and hot.

Repeat 365 times per year! :lol:

:) Once in a while we do get rain and cool weather. And in monsoon season, we get thunderstorms and haboobs (dust storms)..there is some drama, but much less than other places I've lived..

I think if you make a living forecasting the weather in Chicago, you deserve combat pay. When they say "if you don't like the weather around here, just wait a few minutes, it'll change," they aren't kidding! :lol:

They always said that about Cleveland...winters were always unpredictable in NE Ohio the 6 years I lived in the area...

I spent 9 days in San Diego a few years ago. By day 3 I swear the weather forecaster was a cardboard cutout with a tape-loop: Sunny & 78. Perfect day to be alive in San Diego….
