All You Need To Know About Buffalo…

Filed under: Miscellaneous — By Jack at 12:49 pm on Wednesday, April 26, 2006

 Images 49-Buffalo-Silhouette-Welcome…can be found here. Listen to the first song “Welcome to Buffalo.” Then listen again. I played it for my roommate from Cincinnati, and he pitied me. He’s also now a fan of General Spade. Any rapper who that rhymes about how Buffalo produced 2 US Presidents and The Music City Miracle, well, that’s just amazing.

Thanks to all the people who pointed this guy out to me. I’m always the last to know.

Hope this makes up for your lost parasol, Anne.

Jack, I think you are spending a little too much time on myspace . . .

I love that! “where there’s no sunshine…”
On a Buffalonian’s blog:

We’re one mostly sun-free day away from tying Buffalo’s all-time record for consecutive days where we experienced zero percent of the day’s potential sunlight.

Tuesday was the 11th straight sun-starved day. The record is 12, set in 1902 and 1920.

That’s a long stretch of gray, acknowledges one of the men whose job is to record just how much sunshine Buffalo gets. This is determined by comparing the number of minutes of sunshine observed with the total number of minutes between sunrise and sunset.

“I can’t really remember the last shift where I had to wear my sunglasses to go outside, and the only time I wear them is here, to be able to clearly see the sunshine,” said Tony Luppino, one of six weather observers at Buffalo Niagara International Airport.
