Hurray, It's Christmas In October!!
October 15, 2008--
It's 4:00 PM on October 15th and it's dark and raining. As usual.
Last Sunday it was actually a decent weather day, which is about as common as the Cubs winning the World Series.
I decided to use the rare occasion to clean up the debris from my yard which is the result of a summer filled with tornados, thunderstorms, hail and yes..hurricanes.
I brought the radio outside with me to keep me entertained and fired up the Christmas Carols.
Yes, Christmas Carols.
Along with St. Louis being the city with the worst weather, I believe we now hold the title of the city with the stupidest radio station.
There is actually a FM radio station here that in their sheer wisdom decided that the middle of "October" would be a good time to fire up the Christmas music. Even better, they seem to have decided to play it non-stop.
It was almost 80 degrees and humid. I was pulling pieces of my neighbor's lawn furniture out of my gutter.
And, in the background I'm waiting for "It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year" to fill the airwaves.
Since when is October 12th the "most wonderful time of the year"? Columbus Day was the following day, but along with being the dumbest holiday ever invented, Columbus Day certainly doesn't deserve "most wonderful time of the year" status.
"I'm Dreaming Of A White Christmas"? Well, guess what folks - it's going to have to be a helluva LONG dream because Christmas is over 2 and a half MONTHS away!
"Deck The Halls"? Nope, it's "OCTOBER" and probably a better time to power wash your DECK.
What happened to Halloween? Thanksgiving? Heck, why don't we just skip ahead and start gearing up for next year's 4th of July? At least then we could cancel the horrible upcoming St. Louis Winter.
St. Louis is officially the land of Another Day In The Gray and now is also officially the land of radio programing directors with little if any gray matter.
"Santa Claus Is Coming To Town"? Well, if he is - in "October", I sure hope it's to bring some common sense to a particular St. Louis radio station.
Until next week (or sooner if need be!),
I hope you survive Another Day In The Gray!

I do not understand how we are suppose to scare children on Halloween with Christmas music playing. Does this radio station plan to play the music all the way through to Christmas? Who listens to that station and why in October?
By the way, St. Louis weather does not suck today!
