The Academy Awards is on tonight. I haven’t seen a single one of the films that are being nominated. I frankly can’t afford to spend $10 – $15 per person to go see a movie in the theaters any more. I don’t go to the movies alone, so my out of pocket is anywhere from $20 to $40 for two of us to see one movie. They charge extra for 3D movies, and all the new movies seem to be coming out in a 3D version.
It will be interesting to see which movies win the Oscars tonight. I’m looking forward to watching most of them – when they come out on DVD.
The first of March is the start of a three month season of severe weather. This is the most dangerous time of year for severe thunderstorms and the threat of tornadoes. The weather can swing from 40 degrees to 80 degrees in just one day. That kind of temperature difference is the reason we have most tornadoes in this area. Hopefully we won’t have much trouble with that this year.
