What else are they stopping?
« on: September 16, 2019, 07:33:11 AM »
I received the attached email twice this week saying that October 1  WU would no longer be mailing weather reports, conditions, warnings etc, but to use their phone app.   i kind of like getting these.   However, considering everything, one more brick in the wall so to speak.

It used to be that I could send them an email about something not working, like why is my web cam only updated 3 times a day and then never on their page, now it makes no sense.

Reminds me of the story about the guy who came to work every day and something awful happens to him each of those days. On Thursday his boss says to him, "All of these terrible things happen to you everyday.  Why do you come in?"   He replies, "I am curious to see what happens tomorrow."

This also reminds me of a commercial I saw watching the Bears game last Sunday.
