The Music Desk discovered the new band Better Oblivion Community Center last Sunday, and today learned that a) they've just released a video for their song Dylan Thomas, and b) they'll be performing at Terminal West, conveniently located just a couple miles from here, on April 6, a Saturday (!). The Music Desk tried to buy tickets, but either they're not on sale yet or we've forgotten how to purchase tickets from Terminal West.
The Climate Desk had been advised to expect snow and a "wintery mix" today, and followed the advice of almost every media outlet in the State of Georgia and worked from home today to avoid driving on the hazardous streets. The forecast: bitter cold, with early morning rain turning to snow by mid-morning. The reality: a seasonably cool morning, 30s to low 40s, with some early morning rain giving way to sunny skies and mid-40 afternoon temperatures.
Now that the media has cried "wolf" over the weather today, the next time a real storm's a-coming in, everyone's going to laugh off the forecasts and prognostications and take to the roads anyway, and we're going to have another gridlocked "snowpocalypse" like the one that made us a laughing stock a year ago.
