There are a just a few days now until the mid-term elections and while I am not the most political of people I am a BIG believer in exercising your right to vote. Whether you are a Democrat, a Republican, a Libertarian, Green Party or any other, you need to get out and take part!

Please don't let anything stop you from doing your civic duty on Tuesday even if you are just so frustrated with the whole thing that you decide to write in your Great Aunt Gerta!

There is a lot of mud slinging and finger pointing right now but what makes this country great, is the right to vote and the freedom we have to express our opinions.

However, if you do not vote, you give up the right to complain. I don't know how many times I have had a conversation with someone who thinks everything the government is doing is just awful and when you ask them who they voted for, they tell you they didn't vote! How frustrating.

One last time - PLEASE VOTE!

Side note: I was trying to crack the 1000 views mark this week. We're likely to come up short but thanks for pushing me a little closer!

FOX 6 Meteorologist =========================
Rob is an AMS Certified Broadcast Meteorologist and also holds the National Weather Association Seal of Approval as well as the Endorsement of the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society. =========================
A long, long, time ago in a farmers field far, far away, Rob noticed a change in the wind and became fascinated with the weather. Why you ask? (Pause for you to say "why?") Well, it was at that moment he realized he was downwind of the manure pile on the turkey farm where he grew up! After that he watched the weather very carefully in an effort to save his sense of smell! Okay, that's not entirely true but I did grow up on a turkey farm and I have been fascinated with weather and broadcasting for quite some time. I began my career in radio before making the jump to TV. I worked on Good Morning Toronto. After that, I decided to pursue my dream of living and working in the U.S. and joined Wake Up Rochester in Rochester NY. I spent three years in "Bills Country" before coming to my senses and moving to "Packer-Town!" (GO PACK!) I also spent some time trying to make it big as a comic actor and studied the art of improvisation at Toronto's Second City Theatre with teachers like SCTV's Joe Flaherty! I moved here with my beautiful wife, Tanya, who's the real comedian in the family, my son Noah, who's giving my wife a run for the title of funniest Haswell and my daughter Nyla who is the cutest 2 feet of human being you could ever meet! We're very excited to be living in the great city of Milwaukee and we're looking forward to learning all there is to know about Wisconsin! By the way, where do you buy those cheesehead hats anyway?
