And fog. Oh god the fog.

at this time of year?

WE've been getting fog here, so thick it feels like you're biking into a gentle rain. ... but it's autumn

This is definitely the time of year to avoid CHC.

Wolf Blitzer steps in it.

Quote
Wolf Blitzer put his foot in his mouth for a moment on Tuesday while interviewing a survivor of the devastating tornado in Moore, Okla.

"We're happy you're here. You guys did a great job," Blitzer said to Rebecca Vitsmun, who escaped from her house with her 19-month-old son right before the twister tore through it. "You've gotta thank the Lord, right? Do you thank the Lord for that split-second decision?"

Vitsmun hesitates for a moment and smiles. "I -- I'm actually an atheist," she said, laughing off the awkward moment.

So I clicked on a link in AQB's story promising Taylor Swift's most awesome face yet!!! (Who doesn't want to see awesome face?) Well, it didn't deliver. Instead they have a bunch of talking-heads analysing whether sticking her tongue out for a split second will move her up or down the popularity ladder. I have been click-baited into "caring" about a story I don't give two shits about! And now, you've read about it too.  ;D
