The weather segments are cool.<br /><br />Also the whole podcast. It's pretty rad as well.<br />- - - - - - - - - - -<br />It is strange: it is only a Voice, a beautiful, sonorous tide washing over you as you move through your day. And yet, much like the ocean you've never seen and are not entirely sure exists, and the Void overhead that most certainly exists, you know something strange lurks in the darkest corners of that Voice.<br /><br />Strange things happen in this town, and you hear about them on the radio, The Voice reports it; and yet on the days you don't hear that Voice, your day usually goes along fairly normally: no helicopters, no ravenous librarians, none of the fare so regularly reported.<br /><br />But those days you do not hear The Voice lead to the nights you cannot sleep, because you have not heard the voice allow such a thing, you did not let The Voice bid you goodnight.g2 (la pianista irlandesa)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11746312007846172620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149217012399643733.post-63685912320315495362013-09-06T23:42:25.689-07:002013-09-06T23:42:25.689-07:00The basement mini-flood doesn't sound good :( ...The basement mini-flood doesn't sound good :( Was is due to open windows, or will you have to seal the walls? I can imagine you'd really like the weather to stay dry until the harvest is over now!<br />Heh, I definitely wasn't expecting your punchline today! It made me smile quite broadly :)<br /><br /><b>The newscaster</b><br />When the camera cut back to the studio, Genevieve the newcaster had Annabelle the weather-girl in a headlock and was attempting to ram her, head-first, into the newsdesk. The audience leaned forward collectively in their armchairs and deckchairs and from the couches, jaws dropping and eyes widening.<br />The first phone calls started thirty seconds later.<br />"Mostly, 'pull her hair!' and 'Are you running a book on this?'" reported Jim, from the phone-desk.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08503319830584828982noreply@blogger.com
