Better than Stalking
One of my co-workers grabbed this shot of a cop car stuck in the snow just outside of the District 2 station on Friday. I’ve really had my fill of this stuff by now, but the National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch for Tuesday afternoon, with five or more inches predicted, and my meteorologists friends tell me another one is coming next weekend, but they’re not sure how big it’s going to be.
On the plus side, I drove one of the company vehicles today picking up some people from the hotel, and I have to admit that was kind of fun.
I’ve work a lot of snow days at my job over the past three years, but this is the first time I accepted their offer to stay in a hotel on their dime. The improvement in the view from my basement room to this is worth it alone.
Of course, if I had a hot tub like some other coworkers, I wouldn’t give a damn about the view.

In late October, Newsday, the Long Island daily that the Dolans bought for $650 million, put its web site, newsday.com, behind a pay wall. The paper was one of the first non-business newspapers to take the plunge by putting up a pay wall, so in media circles it has been followed with interest. Could its fate be a sign of what others, including The New York Times, might expect? So, three months later, how many people have signed up to pay $5 a week, or $260 a year, to get unfettered access to newsday.com? The answer: 35 people.
“That’s 35 more than I would have thought it would have been,” said Mr. Jimenez to the assembled staff, according to five interviews with Newsday staffers.
Yes, those who already subscribe to the Newspaper, and those who have Cablevision also get access to the site for free, which is absolutely how much I would pay to visit a site that looks nothing like $4 million.
It was a year ago that I saw a dude dressed as Waldo in a massive crowd downtown. That’s what I remember about that day, and how ridiculously cold it was.
I get that the definition of breaking news has seriously changed in recent years, but I fail to see how this even fits the definition of news, or even remotely interesting. You can that from any actually Democratic Senator, or even a Congressman, then we’ll talk.
