Many thanks for the info. And -- now that I don't need it any more, Channel 4 (NBC) is actually mentioning the federal government closing, maybe because 4 days in a row is unprecedented. I guess I'm off to the Kennedy Center tonight, even though Bill Conti won't be. BTW, earlier this week, the Rupert Murdoch thingy was postponed.

Melisa, it used to be illegal to run over commercials, then is was a contractual thing with network agreements to run over network commercials. things have loosened up a lot with regards to these rules over the years, amd it boils down to the fact that advertisers finally realized that if they didn't allow it, viewers would change the channel to find the information. there were also strange rules in network programming with regards to sqeezing video to frame in closing and weather information that are no longer in effect.

Luckily I live next door to a supermarket, and, much to my surprise, it was well-stocked on Monday, milk and all, which is usually the first item to go. And, the salad bar had fresh blueberries, even late in the afternoon. Quick question: All networks seem to be running scrolling school closings, etc. during commercials (as well as programs). I don't remember ever seeing that before, the commercial part, that is.

I've got at least a foot here, and it's expected to keep going at this rate until 9 or 10pm east. Postal Service got here early, tho they still had to get through a lot.
