I want to know why there haven't been any great composers since Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven. Sure, we've had some good ones since such as Verdi, Wagner, Mendelssohn, Mahler, and Schubert. But no truly immortal greats. Why is that? Why don't we have a 20th Century equivalent to Beethoven or Bach? Or even Mozart?

I also want to know what the heck has happened to The Weather Channel. Those guys are pathetic. You get maybe eight minutes of content in the course of an hour. The rest of the time, you have endless loops of the same maps over and over again for six-hour blocks. The "local" forecasts are pathetic. You can get more detail out of the newspaper for crying out loud. And besides, they often cut into the middle of the local forecasts anyhow to bring us commercials. It is such a sloppy operation that it's pathetic. They used to be better than that. Now I just bookmark Accuweather.com and I guess I'll get rooked into paying the monthly fee that they are getting ready to impose just so I can get a damn halfway reliable weather forecast when I want one.

These things, and more, really piss me off. Have a nice day.

Try the NWS website for your local area. The webpage loads fast, no popups, no in-your-face ads.
