Thomas Jefferson, you just put the finishing touches on the revolutionary document known as the Declaration of Independence!  What are you going to do next?  “I’m going to write in my Book Of Weather Memorandum!”  BTW:  note his top […]

Weeks on vacation, days on the trail, and sunlight that stretches into the middle of evening. It’s my favorite time of year.  WZPL’s has posted Smiley’s Summer Guide.   All of us on the show had to come up with three things we like about the season.  It’s a pretty interesting mix.  Here’s my portion:

Good Riddance June! This link will take you to a nice summary of the not-so-nice weather that marked the end of May and start of June around here.

My worst blowout, at least non work-related, was in the 80’s on a Chicago expressway.  Roger Penske would have been pleased with my tire changing speed.  Several adjacent lanes of maniacal drivers will really keep you focused.
My latest blowout was less dramatic.  Me and Mrs. P. were within a couple blocks of returning home on […]

There’s a guy I work with at WRTV also named Paul.  Actually there are somewhere around a half dozen people at the station named “Paul.”  It’s an odd statistical imbalance.  I don’t run into a lot of Paul people outside of the building.  Maybe I need to get out more?  Boy, this post is rambling.

Tom Davis and I have the honor of leading the 7th inning stretch today at Victory Field, as the Indianapolis Indians take on Bisons.  Hopefully, it won’t be a 7th inning retch.  In today’s OTC we received important pre-song training from experienced public singer Grace Trahan.
(POST STRETCH UPDATE)
Here’s the Indianapolis Indians video feed of this crucial moment […]

Four days on GOOD MORNING INDIANA, and the radio.  Three episodes of OFF THE CUFF.  If you missed any Moustache Mania, now’s your chance to catch up on CUFF.

Re-live the initial shock.
Shave it for a rainy day. 
The viewers/streamers speak.

The Cell Phone Show has it Maid (In The Mist) In The Shade. On vacation, and off mic, from Niagara Falls.

The Cell Phone Show hits the road, with aerial coverage of Niagara Falls not provided by the Goodyear Blimp.

The unfortunate part about being multi-media is that there are many ways for people to reach me to tell me this ridiculous mustache looks…uh…ridiculous.  They are responding through polls at the indychannel, WMDH radio, and via emails from the Cuff mailbox, the Good Morning Indiana mailbox, the “weather” mailbox at indychannel, paul@paulpoteet.com, my indychannel email…oh, […]

So I decide to relax my rules regarding personal grooming while on vacation.  That’s what time off is for, right?  My mustache remained today on WRTV and Off The Cuff.  Response is, uh, mixed.  No, it’s 70/30-ish negative.  Maybe 80/20.  Go to the Indychannel’s home page to vote.  They are also taking a poll over at wmdh.com.  MDH posted […]

We left town for a week just as floods were ravaging (floods always Ravage in News-speak, just like fires always Blaze.) southern Indiana.  Sure enough, the last 10-15 minutes of drive back home last night featured a nasty thunderstorm.  Flipped the radio dial to 87.7fm to hear Channel 6, and Kevin Gregory was on with […]

How about a break?  A Flash Back instead of a Flash Flood?  I’m no Ryan Seacrest (first of all, I use my real name) but I did snag WZPL’s Dave Smiley back stage at the Music Mill for about a minute of mindless banter a few weeks ago during his 6th Anniversary Party/Concert.

My television home base is putting on a telethon for flood victims.  Watch RTV6 Tuesday night at 7:30 to help.  Details here.  The article gives locations where you can drop off your cash both in Indy and Columbus.  If none of that works for you, just go to the Indiana Red Cross and donate online.  (You’re already […]

Steve Morris of 106.9 WXXC has promised that his morning show is REALLY starting this week, after a few months of Dress Rehersals. (Steve, can I take off that dress now?) If he really wants to bring the “A” game, he should do something about his weatherman.
