It’s Awful Out There!


This is not my first Blog Posting. Actually it is somewhere around the 1,400th Blog Posting but who’s counting?

I did one about the Traffic Report People running out of drastic words because they are constantly screaming at us thing like, “Highway 123 Is a Disaster Area!”

I also did a blog about the Wind Chill Factor and how it was an example of the Weather People trying to make things seem as bad as possible. They define Wind Chill Factor as the Effect of Wind and Temperature on Bare Skin. Since I hardly ever go outside naked on cold nights, I really could not care less about their Wind Chill Factor.

Today they (whoever “they” are) are at it again. For the first time I heard them (“them” is “they”) say, “Traffic Misery Index Reading”

Is this really necessary?
Do we really need an index misery reading for us to worry about the traffic we probably are not driving in?
For that matter, do we really need an index misery reading for us to worry about the traffic we are driving in? 
If we hear about a Critically High Traffic Misery Index Reading what are we to do about it? 
Should we pull over? 
Should we call 911? 
Should we tweet our Congressman?
Now that we know the Traffic Misery Index Reading, will we get home sooner or later?

I think we will get home later because it is really hard to drive a car in the Fetal Position.

Would I kid u?
