On the road

I recently returned from a vacation to Southern California. There are many annoying things about SoCal (starting with that overused term, but we NorCal’rs are just as guilty) but there was one thing that really sent me over the top and made me miss good ole Sacramento; the local news.

For example, have a look see at the news team over at abc7.com. Seriously, are these broadcasters or the current cast of the Bold and the Beautiful. And the weather people? Put on your darkest oversized sunglasses and check out Dallas Raines. Haven’t seen teeth like that since that episode of Friends when Ross had the blacklight going, huh? Oh, and wait til you hear him speak. Mark Finan, take me away!

The first thing I did upon returning to the 916 was flip on channel 3. Edie and John welcomed me back and caught me up to speed on the flooding situation and shared a wonderful of story of a rescued cat. Not once did Edie or John mention themselves or make some snide personal comment.

Appreciate what you have, Sacramento. Sure this city has it’s share of faults (as noted here daily,) but, overall, I loves me some Sacramento and am glad to be back.

P.S. Props to SinghCity for minding the store while most of us were out of town. Looks like the folks over at heckasac took notice, too.

  1. the fact that you saw the weather portion of the LA newscast means there must not have been a high-speed freeway pursuit. when i was in college i believe they pre-empted the Seinfeld finale for one.
