Am I weird, or is this normal?

[Archae]

A channel out of Milwaukee is losing a LOOOONG-time reporter/anchorman, and I'm going to miss him.

Now, is this weird?

[derby378]

1. Not at all

A lot of us still miss old-school meterologist Harold Taft on KXAS down here in Dallas/Fort Worth. Damn good weatherman.

2. Yes, it's weird... but anything for ratings.

3. wow Jerry Taff.. leaving..

Well.. he's been here quite a while.

[Archae]

4. Exactly.

He's been someone to depend on, like we did with Walter Cronkite.

I like Sally Severson, but Jerry had that way of making you feel comfortable, even reporting bad news.

5. Golly, is he still around???

I never watched him, but yeah, that's the passing of a legend.

Now I'll be all broken up when Paul Joseph retires. As a little kid, I had a big-time crush on Paul. :loveya:

7. Hey Rev

8. Hey, Sparks -

did you survive the weekend? :)

[sparky_in_ma]

9. Yup

Had a good time.:D

[RevCheesehead]

10. so,

you didn't run out and get married, or add to your future-wife list?

Reassure me, before I go to Milwaukee and make a drunken fool out of myself.

11. I did meet

my first future ex, yvr girl. I also saw bettyellen. She's sweet too. I left you a note in the clubhouse.

6. I won't miss him a bit

He went from a pretty good reporter to a news reader of crap.

Wasn't his fault, but still...

14. It is normal, but you are still wierd.

[Left Is Write]

15. No, I don't think it's weird. I miss Paul Magers on Mpls KARE-11, and

I don't even live in the Twin Cities anymore!

And dammit, Frank Vascellaro should still be doing the morning show, but he took Paul's place.

Okay...maybe it is weird, because I'm pretty sure these feelings of mine aren't exactly normal. :D

16. Can't be too long before

Carl Zimmerman retires too.

17. Bring back Albert the alleycat!

[RevCheesehead]

18. OMG! Albert!

I totally forgot about him! (wasn't it "Ward Allen and Albert?")

Imagine how much fun he'd have with the "feral cat" thing! :rofl:

while we're on the weather (Paul! :loveya:), can anyone answer these questions?
* Why does Bart Adrian do the weather outdoors, even when it's crappy out??
* Is it really outdoors, or is it a semi-enclosed space?
* Are we supposed to be impressed that they actually look outside to see if they're right?

(I only see Milwaukee newscasts when visiting the parents, and I feel so out of the loop!)

19. I still mourn walter cronkite and dan rather
