There are some nasty looking thunder storm cells headed our way. That is bad on so many levels. First they could bring heavy rains, strong winds and possibly spawn tornadoes. Second, because they are dangerous the local weather guys will be breaking into programing to keep us informed of there progress and that will mean they might interrupt TDTVS. We can’t just not watch it, what will we talk about at work tomorrow around the water cooler? Or third the storms might knock out the power here or in Augusta or the cable and then we’d miss the show entirely.
I had a really cool idea to that involved mixing up a photo rally I did several years back and geocaching to create an event for the MMC. I would give them a set of coordinates to go to where they would find a cache that held another set of coordinates to another cache for another of coordinates which would send them to a restaurant for lunch. Sounds kind of cool, but when I went to my GPS receiver to enter coordinates, there was no place where I could do that. I could get directions to an already entered waypoint, but where is the fun in that, if everyone kows where they are going. Are all GPSs like that? If so, that kind of kills this idea.

We had t-boomers come though with one interruption. Of course the commercials went through without interruption.
The General Manager of WJBF (the Augusta ABC affiliate) must be a LOST fan or the timing of the storms was perfect because from 8 to 9 when they were rerunning last week’s episode they broke in everytime the show was going to a commercial, so we got weather instead of ads. Then from 9 – 10 when the new episode was on they didn’t interrupt once, and they left the commercials intact only promo-ing the weather at 11.
