Dear News Media,

We all know that Toyota has some fucked up vehicles out there. But, do we really need hourly new reports and updates?

Please move on.

Sincerely,
Chas.

Yup. I am in another show ... and, if the weather holds out, you should come see it. I kiss lots of women and save the day!

Snowpocalypse II

Chas. — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 13:53:37 +0000

As of this morning is cold and sleeting. The forecast is calling for sleet turning to snow lasting through the evening hours. Looks like it's gonna be a lazy day on the sofa under a blanket!

Here's the back deck first thing this morning.

Here's an obligatory Snow Self-Portrait from yesterday afternoon.

Snowpocalypse (Redux)

Wow. What an excellent winter it is here in the mountains!

The weather folk actually got it right again and I am currently rockin' around 9" on my back deck (the forecast is now predicting the possibility of 8"-12").

Winter Wonderland!

6-10 Inches!

... WINTER STORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON...

A WINTER STORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW WILL TRANSITION TO MOSTLY SNOW ACROSS THE NORTH CAROLINA MOUNTAINS FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THE PRECIPITATION WILL SPREAD INTO THE FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT DURING THE EVENING... WITH MAINLY SNOW EXPECTED ALONG THE I-40 CORRIDOR. THE SNOW WILL FALL THROUGH MUCH OF THE OVERNIGHT HOURS FRIDAY... BEFORE GRADUALLY TAPERING OFF SATURDAY. ALTHOUGH UNCERTAINTY REMAINS REGARDING THE AMOUNT OF PRECIPITATION THAT WILL FALL... CURRENT INDICATIONS ARE THAT TOTAL ACCUMULATIONS OF 6 TO 10 INCHES CAN BE EXPECTED ACROSS MOST OF THE WATCH AREA. AMOUNTS MAY BE A LITTLE LESS IN THE VALLEYS OF THE SOUTHWEST MOUNTAINS... AND IN THE PIEDMONT... WHERE SNOW WILL MIX WITH SLEET AND RAIN OR FREEZING RAIN AT TIMES. SNOWFALL TOTALS MAY BE HIGHER ACROSS THE HIGH ELEVATIONS OF THE MOUNTAINS... ESPECIALLY IN AREAS NEAR THE BLUE RIDGE.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A WINTER STORM WATCH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOW... SLEET... OR ICE ACCUMULATIONS THAT MAY IMPACT TRAVEL. CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS.

Asheville is Gay!

Who knew? I live next door to the 12th gayest city in the nation (that's Asheville, NC for you slow folks)... according to Advocate.

“‘Avatar’ … seriously?”

Chas. — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 02:14:46 +0000

That was my reaction on hearing that "Avatar" had snagged the Best Motion Picture (Drama) award at the Golden Globes. I mean ... what the fuck?!!? "Avatar" may be groundbreaking in eye-popping visuals category, but there were much better movies (on the whole) out there this past year. I hope this isn't any indication about how the Oscars will swing.
