In September of 2025, my work is generating the most income it ever has in my career. Yet, I'm being forced to shut down my successul operation, against my will, due to one cause alone: 95% of that revenue is being stolen by piracy and copyright infringement. I've lost more than $1 million to copyright infringement in the last 15 years, and it's finally brought an end to my professional storm chasing operation. Do not be misled by the lies of infringers, anti-copyright activists and organized piracy cartels. This page is a detailed, evidenced account of my battle I had to undertake to just barely stay in business, and eventually could not overcome. It's a problem faced by all of my colleagues and most other creators in the field.
The GFS model seems to be settling on a snow outlook for this weekend for the bulk of West Virginia. Once again, the mountains are the favored areas, but the parameters are in place for Charleston's possible first dusting on Sunday morning. Temps may even be cold enough Sunday morning for icy roads in Charleston - something to watch out for. The snow may begin falling statewide as early as Saturday midday, with temps plummeting into the night. The setup looks similar to the October 28 event, but slightly colder.

Downtown studio
One of the tasks on my working-late list last night was getting the downtown video "studio room" set up. This is not one of those big high-ceiling classic photo studios, but it will do - a small but adequate room to do short interviews/standups. It's nice to have the dedicated space to leave things set up and ready to go. The basics are all finished, though I've got a few props (plants, furniture) to move in on as as-needed basis. We did our first project in here in the morning, a CIS web presentation.
Thanks for Tess sitting. She said that she had a great time tearing up the computer!!! Great pix of her. - Posted by Sally
