What do you do with shirts that say “Tennessee Titans: 2003 AFC Champions?” They will be boxed up and destroyed. Wow. America at its worst. Thousands of homeless people without adequate warm clothing and they are destroying misprinted merchandise, all in the name of capitalism. I suppose they could send it off to some remote 3rd world country which we’d never see the natives wearing this misprinted merchandise. Not good enough. Too expensive in transport cost.
So I guess the people who bought the “Oakland Raiders: 2003 AFC Champions” shirts paid extra to offset the cost of the extra printing of the Titans shirts. All this so that they could be the first ones on their block wearing the hot merchandise.
So the snow is gone. It melted mostly yesterday. Still there are plenty of schools that were closed today or went late. Mostly it’s those counties like Pickett and Overton. Get a little snow and they’re closed for 2 weeks. When do these kids get out for Summer vacation? July? I guess they don’t have adequate snow removal equipment. That coupled with being some of the more poorer counties with small populations…doesn’t let them improve the situation much in spending.
I would strongly encourage these counties to go to year round schools. Perhaps even having a few weeks off in January/February to offset the inevitable snow day.
My contact at NewsChannel5 said they put news reporters up in downtown hotels during this snow storm. So that’s how they do it. It is interesting that the newsreporters were able to get around in the snowstorm…seemingly everywhere….schools with snowbound kids w/ no buses…. Interstates which were inpassible. Yet buses weren’t able to get kids home and snow plows were unable to get to icy roads.
Johnny Cash does a superb cover of Nine Inch Nails’ song “Hurt” ( smaller version of the video is here ). That’s what makes Johnny Cash so cool. He’s covered hard rock songs from NIN and Soundgarden. Still cool after all these years.
