Sweaty Weekend Coming – “Barry” Threatens New Orleans with Severe Flooding
Even the Weather People Get Rained Out For the record, Mother Nature doesn't play favorites. Nobody gets a break. Yesterday was our annual Praedictix/AerisWeather company picnic, with grilling and (adult) beverages at a local park. Didn't quite work out that way. A leaky sky meant cold brats in the parking lot. Two weather companies get rained out? Oh the irony.
Friends have been growling at me since March. "Paul, it's raining outside but there's nothing showing up on Doppler" a buddy texted. Hey, I'm just as irritable as you are!

New Coke Didn't Fail - It Was Murdered. Ah, the memories. Interesting perspective in a story at Mother Jones: "...In the face of a nationwide backlash, the company brought back the old formula--now dubbed “Coke Classic”--after two months. The story of New Coke is eternal. It’s a parable of hubris. It’s also a lie. Far from the dud it’s been made out to be, New Coke was actually delicious--or at least, most people who tried it thought so. Some of its harshest critics couldn’t even taste a difference. It was done in by a complicated web of interests, a mixture of cranks and opportunists--a sugar-starved mob of pitchfork-clutching Andy Rooneys, powered by the thrill of rebellion and an aggrieved sense of dispossession.
