Congratulations. — I've enjoyed your video presentations, and so look forward to being able to hear you speak on different topics more current, either whether or both, weather and climate related. I don't live in the PNW, and so will be looking into just how to access the main station and program, more streaming, and via the net.richard583https://www.blogger.com/profile/00415086002282750839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-15196181915365135672011-08-14T10:01:14.475-07:002011-08-14T10:01:14.475-07:00I get so tired of people complaining about the sum...I get so tired of people complaining about the summers here.

If you can't handle it plan a vacation... Otherwise stop complaining, move, and leave this wonderfully green, and gray, landscape to those who love it for what it is.crazydingohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00237883205633575163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-74151173312224598922011-08-13T03:06:11.190-07:002011-08-13T03:06:11.190-07:00The full half of the glass is this: if the weathe...The full half of the glass is this: if the weather this summer was caused by a hangover from last winter's La Niña, then the weather this fall to early winter may be pretty normal due to hangover from the neutral ocean conditions this summer.
