A string of thunder storms, some producing hail two inches in width, blew through the Delaware Valley today, starting around noon or so, at least in the Far Northeast Philadelphia section of town. It was a storm in the evening that made me stand in awe.

Like many people, I am a sucker for rainbows. Maybe it has something to do with some stories I heard many years ago from an elder Cherokee who has since passed. Maybe it’s because a rainbow is simply beautiful and awesome in its own right. No matter what, they are something fascinating.

One TV show I used to watch, and have watched since it was introduced about three years ago, The Unit, has had its current season halted, and despite pulling in high ratings before the writer’s strike, may be axed by idiots in CBS’ entertainment division.

It seems an online petition has been started in an attempt to “save” The Unit from the proverbial TV show scrap pile. Although I’m not a big fan of online petitions, I’ve seen several TV shows that were “saved” as a result of such actions by viewers. Since I already said I enjoyed the show, I will push others to sign the petition in an attempt to keep the show on-the-air.

This was the first snowfall that could be measured, according to local news outlets. The National Weather Service said this is the sixth latest first snowfall of the season in Philadelphia.
