From the Red River Valley comes the battle of the news anchors!  Click here to watch. I wonder when the divorce papers (joke) will be filed?

Yes, it is possible that Trump v Obama could occur in 2044: Barron Trump and Sasha Obama. My friend Andy Revkin has taken this premise and put together an enjoyable piece. Take a look and listen here . 

The Amazing Forecast Harlem The National Weather Service and the larger meteorological community deserves a great deal of credit for the advance forecast of the blizzard. It undoubtedly saved lives, mitigated inconvenience (flights canceled in advance rather than stranding people at airports), and decreased property losses.  Still, the best forecast cannot make up for utter, tragic incompetence. Roughly, 1.5 million people  (not "customers") are without power at this time. Local media in the Northeast are estimating it will take up to six days to get all of the lights on.

You might have seen the thing going around the internet recently where people list famous people who they have encountered during their lives.  I thought I would go ahead and post mine. I suspect I have been luckier than most.

Hannah Jeter   Dr. Ted Fujita   Kristin Chenoweth   Ginger Zee Dave Barry   Barry Switzer   Barry Sanders   Vice President Humphrey John Lloyd Young Wayne Knight (Newman!) Tony Bennett Karen Carpenter Len Dawson  John Coleman  Mike Holmgren Roger Maris 

LAS = 3-letter code for Las Vegas Airport. Another example is Chicago Midwest with MDW. Many airports around the nation and world have webcams fixed on their runways. One recently began in Las Vegas (click here ).  What I don't  want to see is -- as the planes approach -- odds of a safe landing displayed!

Dave Barry, as usual, is right on top of it -- sharks dropping from the sky on Wichita. You can read his biting (get it?!) coverage here . Happy August!

Airport announcements, especially at the gate, are the worst. Video here . 

This is a photo of a New Mexico Roadrunner.  Konrad Wolte The question is: did the roadrunner make it to Acme (NM) before the tornado?! At least we now know the location where the roadrunner and Wile E Coyote cartoons were filmed! fireybirdything

Euro News This is a genuine story. Really. 

Regardless of the cold gripping the nation in many areas (including Kansas), I took this photo of a true optimist pulling his boat through the snow covered Kansas Flint Hills. Here's looking forward to spring!
