Clear Channel is a sham!

For those who know me, I consider myself a pretty ardent capitalist. However, Clear Channel here in town is sacrificing long-time Sacramento institutions for the power of the dollar (which currently sucks right now, but I digress).

Clear Channel is getting rid of Paul and Lori and their program on Y92. This is the latest move in an ongoing purge of talent at 5 of the stations they own in Sacramento. I believe they drove Sacramento's favorite talk show host Tom Sullivan to leave and take the position at Fox Business and take his radio show national. Then they let go of Phil Cowan, another long-time employee and former host of the Paul and Phil show on Y92.

I just sent a scathing email to Clear Channel Sacramento GM Jeff Holden about he and his ilk are no longer welcome in Sacramento after their purge of these great Sacramentans for the value of the buck. They basically want to replace all live talent, especially on the music side, automated programming with no human voice behind the mike.

We have hit a new low as a society!

Well Again

I finally got over the flu and I am back to work. Its still raining throughout the Sacramento region. The snowfall and the rain we have received this week will help us try to avoid a drought this year. I want to start off the new year skiiing at Sugar Bowl, and wakeboarding/houseboating at Shasta in July.

Its Raining and Im Sick...

So I have been down with this year's flu since yesterday and we are getting a major storm here in Northern California. There is snow in the mountains. How I wish I could be in my Caltrans truck up there in the wintry delight instead of lying in bed with my back aching!

Wintertime

Its raining here today. I love the rain. I love lying in bed and listening to it rain when its dark out. I love the fire in the fireplace keeping the home nice and toasty. I just wish it could snow here in the valley though (not like a Buffalo snowfall, just a couple of inches here and there).
