Tropical Storm Jeanne and Ranting

Here comes the next storm to delay my trip to Key West once again. I have never spent so much time tracking hurricanes. I should be working for NOAA. On the up side, if my trip next week is postponed, then I can attend the SD Festival of Beer.

Start of Rant:

On an unrelated topic, what is the deal with San Diego radio stations? Every other city in the US, even Salt Lake City, has better radio stations than we do. San Diego radio plays what I call "safe rock". Music that is not too extreme and not too soft. Why can't we have a radio station like K-Rock in New York? K-Rock plays the kind of music we used to hear from 91X, back when they were "on the cutting edge of rock" (now they are on the trailing edge of rock) combined with the pure rock of the now internet only KNAC from Los Angeles. I know what the problem is: Clear Channel Communications. However, as much as I dislike their monopoly on radio in the US, I don't believe that Clear Channel, the FCC and President Bush are out to get Howard Stern. Howard needs to take some kind of anti-paranoid pill and get back to talking about strippers, porn stars and more strippers.

End of rant.
