32. In Colorado it's been unbearable.

The same commercials back to back 24/7 many of them blatant lies. Most people just turn the TV off but I really like to know what's happening. And PBS has not run it's best shows like Frontline often though I'm grateful for Democracy Now, BBC, and the coverage of the storm. Just keep thinking of how we could have used that 2 billion from the corporations to help the our neighbors on the east coast who are hurting so badly.
