i guess there's a hurricane on the way.

Maybe even color-coded by channel type.
But no, to get a list like that, I had to do a Live Chat online to even understand which channels Q is supposed to get as it is not obvious from looking at his account details, then copy the data from 2 lists on different webpages, import it into a spreadsheet, sort it by number and remove the duplicates by hand. So that I would have a combined list of the "Select" package and the "Digi Tier 1" package channels.
.
Why is it that even when I'm pragmatic enough to decide, "I'm not going to do xyz tonight after all. It will make me late for bed," that I'm not resolute enough to stop myself from doing something else which ends up making me 2 hours late for bed anyway?
.
Hmm. Well maybe there's not a hurricane on the way. From what I read earlier, it was supposed to make landfall on Thursday. But according to the weather forecast, we have a chance of thunderstorms thru Wednesday, and then clear skies for the next week. Maybe it will skip us. Or do weather forecasts not take hurricanes into account until they are a certain distance from landfall?
