Today is Snowplow Driver Appreciation Day in Wisconsin. I've got to admit--it sure is a whole lot easier to appreciate them when the temperature is in the 60's!
According to Governor Doyle, who declared today's special day for drivers of snow plows, we need to be more careful around snow plows while they clear the roads of ice and snow so we can get where we need to be. The proclamation also notes that there are 400 crashes involving snow plows every year in Wisconsin.
All right, I guess I agree that we should use extra caution around snow plows, and that we should be thankful that the government pays people to clear the roads so we don't have to wait until spring to leave our houses. That does merit some appreciation.
I know it's been a while since the last snowstorm, but it hasn't been so long that I've forgotten the chore of re-shoveling a clear driveway that a snowplow has just refilled. Whoever does my street goes so fast and flings that stuff so far that I've also had to re-shovel the entire sidewalk in front of my house!
Appreciate them, yes. Run out and buy them a card? I don't think so.
Here's somebody else who's probably not a fan:

It's a miracle that both Jonathan and KItty wanted to hear Barry Manilow this morning. They were not alone. Plenty of Fanilow's called in to vote yes. One caller claimed to have seen Manilow in concert 25 times!
The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, it is another gorgeous Monday, fit for another great show at the Crystal Corner tonight.

Hey everybody, we were thrown for a loop by the twist this week, but were able to make one of our "oldie but a goldie" songs fit the mold.
We have a few songs that we have played consistently over the years, and we are very happy that we will be...
We just received word of what this weeks twist is, and...oh boy. We need to take our "signature song" and cut it to only 2:30 without going over. Amberstein does not simply play 2:30 versions of our songs...so this could be interesting.

In 1984, Rockwell rose to number 2 for 3 weeks in 1984 with "Somebody's Watching Me." The backup singer for the song was Michael Jackson. How did Rockwell get Jackson to help him? Well, Rockwell's real name is Kennedy William Gordy and he...
Have you heard the song "Rumble and Sway" yet on Triple M?
The singer sounds like a raspy blues dude who's definitely been around the block a few times....but surprisingly, Jamie N. Commons is only 23 years old!
He was born in England, but...
