I frequently find myself watching the Weather Channel.  I come for the updates on current and upcoming conditions, but I stay for the music.  Typically, it is just that elevator music-style jazz, but occasionally I am treated to something like the Rolling Stones’ “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking” or “Theme from Shaft.”  But even when one of those rarities is not playing, the light jazz is enough to keep me around in a soothing, meditative daze.  There is a slightly melancholy feel to it – a sense that this is Life, this is Truth.  At that moment, it feels like the 3-hour Doppler loop is all that needs to be known.  Everything for those 5 to 10 minutes is simple and comforting.
