I venture to say most communities with more than 10 inches of snow a year all experience the fifth season: road construction. The constant freezing, thawing, salting and scraping takes a toll on a road. But here in Lil Rhody this time of year (and it seems a good chunk of the year it is PBS and NPR pledge season). First WGBH goes at it then RI PBS which usually overlaps the NPR pledge drive. Needless to say I have missed crucial interviews, minutes of ambient sounds and reviews of books I will never get around to reading. Tonight it was either another dose of Susan Orman, a Tribute to Ed Asner or Norm Abram fashioning a template of himself.
I enjoy PBS and NPR, I just wish the gov't would fully fund them both and let me enjoy the programming.
The polls show a bounce for McCain but I am not worried. Why? Polls do not account all the folk without a landline and does not factor in the online community. Plus I think the disparity between McCain of 2000 and McCain of 2008 will begin to show and cause worry in such economic hard times.
