I ANSWERED MY OWN QUESTION.

 Hubby and I were watching our local news at noon. They frequently invite a guest to cook up something and share the recipe with the viewers. 

Hubby starts wondering out loud why they always show these folks cooking in fancy kitchens with granite countertops, 6 burner gas stoves and a giant industrial style stainless steel refrigerator? They never show anyone in a worn out mobile home kitchen like ours. We have the faux wooden countertops, an electric stove with only two burners that function properly and an old double door fridge. The fridge has developed some rust spots so I'm slowly covering the entire outside with free stickers. It's cheaper than one of those fancy "skins". Our fridge actually has an ice maker but you have to prop up the on/off thingy with a fork. If you forget you'll end up with freezer shelves and their contents buried in ice.

Sorry, I wobbled off the cooking path. By the time I got to this point I understood why there are no cooking demonstrations broadcast from a 1984 Fleetwood!😬

I CAN'T UNDERSTAND THE NEW WEATHER JARGON!




We've been watching the weather channel quite a bit lately due to the typical sketchy summer weather. As we're watching I'm thinking "what the hell are they talking about"? What happened to the good old days of simple forecasts. Forecasts that everyone can understand?

I don't need to know how or why the weather formed. I don't need to know the fancy meteorological terms for the different types of weather. I don't give a rats ass about Derechos, Weather Bombs, Atmospheric Rivers, Polar Vortex, Upper Level Lows or the Convection Coefficient!?

Just tell me what's coming in a language I can understand. Rain, snow, hail, tornado, wind, thunderstorms, locusts and so on. Don't spend an hour explaining why the killer hurricane is stalking me. Who cares? Just tell me what weather to expect and I'll plan for it.
