Seems as if the thief of the $2000 six foot hot dog has been captured. Local news rocks.

Other highlights of the week: Locals need “collective decision” next time bad weather occurs during a concert. From what I heard the panic at the musical marshmallow was severe that evening with people running and screaming everywhere. Or maybe that was just all the kids the drunk smokers had brought to the concert. Hard to say since I was cowering in my basement as the drizzle fell. OK..that is also an exaggeration. I was actually watching a hockey game.

And speaking of storms causing panic, the local stations got so excited since there was something to report about that they canceled all the shows that evening so reporters could show rain falling on cars that were parked in the downtown area. They scrapped Survivor, CSI, yada yada, etc. My favorite report was the one with a reporter up near Monticello saying, “There are no signs of mudslides, but there is a bit of mud sliding across the road.” He was then asked if there was any traffic in the area and he said, “Well, a car just went by and it was going much to fast. Please be sure to tell the viewers to slow down.” I wonder how many viewers were driving at that time. Anyway…speaking of reporters, the poll will be going back up tomorrow (hopefully, so get ready to vote once again for the hottest of NBC29 - other networks will start the following week).

I’d continue this post…but yet another tornado watch has been issued. Another night of heavy rain is here. Good thing I have a national feed for TV so I can watch the Survivor finale.
