A small, notable milestone today

I applied for my first professional job today. As of this writing my resume, cover letter and writing samples are sitting at the main Waco mailroom waiting to be delivered to Sterling, VA. It's a writing position for a major communications company that handles clientes who need materials for public relations, marketing, training and general media. It's a long shot but I have hope!

I saw this the other day on the weather channel's website, and noted that it couldn't possibly be accurate. No precipitation anywhere in the US?
