Ah, did not realize they had to pay licensing fees for that brand name.
If that is indeed the case, I agree completely that's the reason it was tossed aside.
Acceptable registrations in the queue through March 30 at 9:00a ET have now been activated. Enjoy! -M.W.

Re: Minneapolis
One can bypass Chicago itself (though not northwest Indiana and the south suburbs which can also have bad traffic) by taking I-80 to I-39 and 39 up to 90, which then runs back into 94 in Wisconsin.

Re: WDIV new set
Saw some weathercasts on 4 this morning. The graphics on that diagonally positioned monitor look truly AWFUL!

Yeah, the straight-on anchor shot this morning did not look very good (the angle was weird and the backdrop far too bright), and I agree that the new desk is a downgrade from the old one.

Re: Stupid Trump endorses Florida resident for Michigan Senate
You are indeed correct. The residency requirement only applies at time of election. There is no state residency requirement that applies during the actual term of office.

He is capable of doing some very good stuff, but I agree that the promos featuring his "happy" voice are creepy.
