I often listen to online streaming while I'm at work. Sometimes I can't get the local feed and search for other locations on the web to provide me with my streaming needs. I mostly choose California stations, as I figure, since it's the 'technology' state, they will have the most advanced and error-free feeds. I've found this to be true and it works pretty well.

However, sometimes I am listening away and forget that I'm hearing news reports, commercials, and weather reports from the left coast.

The other day, I got all excited as I listed to a Trader Joes' commercial and momentarily celebrated the prospects of shopping at this store locally (I love going there while I'm in DC) until I remembered that the Trader Joes that they were advertising was a little far for me to run to on the way home from work.

Today, I heard them say that the weatherman was reporting that they had seen their last rainfall until next year. How neat is that?
