Old Light Bulb & Weather Channel Memories
Living On The Bright Side Of Town: As a resident of north Fort Worth, I can happily say that I am just minutes away from the second-oldest burning light bulb, which was first flicked on back on Sept. 21, 1908. Details on the bulb and its’ 96th birthday party here. Now, if I can just get my backyard porch light to stay burning for longer than three weeks, I’ll be set!
What Was That Song On The Weather Channel?: Earlier this summer, I added an entry here about tracking down Ryan Farish’s “Beautiful” CD after hearing “Full Sail” played during TWC’s “Local On The 8′s” segment. [Farish's music clips and a streaming Internet broadcast here] Yesterday, visitor Greg Davidson commented that he was searching for songs played on the local forecast back in the late ’80s and early ’90s. He included a link to TWCclassics.com, which has an extensive audio library, video clips of old local forecasts and much more. Ah, the old computerized white-on-purple scrolling text and primitive graphics… Thanks for the link, Greg!
