She is the receptionist/sec. for the MAIN man at wral-

Brian, you have to see this video on yahoo: http://www.yahoo.com/s/675602

absolutely hilarious! it's two mascots taking shots at each other! Thought it might be a great addition to your video clip collections

HA! Thanks, Go-MIA-Canes! I'm going to do this one Friday morning!

I just watched you on channel 5 showing the slide show of the fashions and the Sept 14 cancellations of the football games. You do a grand job in telling us what is going on in cyberland!! Have a great weekend and we will see you Monday!!

Thanks for watching, Ernie61! You have a great weekend, too!

Ok I looked at your DualDoppler and it looked like the rain was headed away..to the north..hopefully more is on the way..

Elizabeth Gardner assures us it's coming!

I'm glad you're reading, Berni! ;) Thanks for leaving me a note.

Brian- I have some pretty cool pics I took driving through one of the storms Friday. You're welcome to them.

Mr. Myagi: Could you send them to me -- or post them in your Golo image gallery? My address is bshrader@wral.com. Thanks!

Thanks for that link on Milk. Our grocery bill has increased so much this year that it's distressing. I'm sure potato chips and other junk food will just get cheaper and cheaper then everyone will say "How come Americans are fatter than ever?!"

Okay, Brian. You have to check out that sign I photographed in Cary tonight (9/22)...

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/1850693/

There's gotta be a blog there.

hey Brian! Check out my blog postings and have a great day! thanks, Nick

Heya there Brian, how are things in WRAL land?

Hey, Say it to my face! We're all smiles and giggles here! Hope you're doing well.

Here's one to ponder, Brian. 'Dancing to a new Drummond?' -

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/1877021/

Hey Brian- have you seen my latest blog entry? its pretty interesting (I think)... http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/1876964/

Hey, Brian!! You did a wonderful job as 'trafficologist' this morning on Channel 5 morning news! So, will you still be trafficologist and give your noon news report about what is going on on wral.com? You rock, Brian! With Ernest regards,

Thanks very much, Ernie. I'm playing trafficologist for a while -- and doing my WRAL.com stuff in the 8 a.m. and noon news. I appreciate your kind words and your interest!

Brian, If you like bbq so much you need to make a special trip down to greenville and try Bee's BBQ. Its so good they even have a road named after the place right as you get into greenville on your left and it will take you right to it. You have to get there atleast before 2pm or your not going to get any. They only make a certain amount each day and when that runs out thats it. I think they may ship bbq out of town but im not sure about that. But it is ABSOLUTLY THE BEST BBQ THERE IS!!!! NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!

You convinced me, Heelz. I'll have to check it out and let you know what I think!

Hey Brian, Great job at the traffic report!!! You're a great replacement for Mark Roberts....

Give my regards to that gorgeous Lynda Loveland.

Thanks, Raysson!

Thank you for mentioning the fact that just because you have an HD TV does not necessarily mean you are getting an HD picture!

You don't know how often I get calls of people with cable straight out of the wall wondering why the picture looks bad on their wide screen HD TV! Unless you have a QAM tuner built into your TV, you will NOT get HD straight out of the wall.

I am happy to say though; Raleigh has a great range of HD over the air channels. I suggest just a standard bunny ear connected to the digital or air input on the TV. Regardless of what the salesmen try to sell individuals, you do NOT need a pricey HD antenna to get over the air.

Good point, Senior Techie. I have rabbit ears connected to my HD tuner card on my computer...and I get all the major digital channels very clearly.

I'm working a story for WRAL-TV about making sure people are using HD sources. Look for it in the next few weeks.

"Fry something on a stick, carry bags full of free pamphlets and stickers and you can have your own personal fair."

Funny!

I go to the fair mainly for the free things. I want a few plastic bags full of swag.

It's great venue for collecting bumper stickers. (Political junkies like me really enjoy election year fairs.) Everybody loves stadium cups, too. I've got a refrigerator full of magnets from the fair.

Speaking of swag -- make sure you stop by the WRAL booth to get a Greg Fishel mask!

Are you and Liz an item like dating?

Negative on that one, Raysson!

hi... if you love parkers bbq... you really need to try wilbers in goldsboro... and i LOVE your music choices...

Hey, Wine_girl! I got an e-mail from someone in Goldsboro last week, urging me to check out Wilbur's. I've driven past it many times, but haven't stopped there, yet. I guess I don't get hungry on my way to the beach until I get to Kinston! ;) But I'm definitely going to check our Wilbur's -- and McCall's.

Thanks for the suggestion, Brian! Hope you are well!

Hey Brian- You need to add "Trafficologist" on your about me section!

Brian Eno!?!

I adore My Life in the Bush of the Ghosts

Out Jezebel!

yes!

DAvid Bowie - Ziggy Stardust

Any chance you will add this segment: NC American Indian Heritage Month Celebration November 17 2007 11:00 - 4:00 p.m. NC Museum of History Raleigh NC Click the link for additional information: http://www.ncmuseumofhistory.org/aihc07/index.html

This is an annual event, free and open to the public.

Thanks for the tip, Blablah! I'll work on putting together a video segment about it.

When you have it together, please let me know where to find it so I can email the segment to friends and family across the US. Thanks so much for doing this!

Brian,Ilove you on WRAL,YOU ROCK LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for watching, EGH3! Glad to know you're out there!

Hey, Brian!! I know you earned your cherrios this morning with all the traffic news! Great job! Have a nice and warm weekend!!

Thanks, Ernie!

Cats with wigs??? Aren't they vain enough?

Exactly!

Hey, Brian!! Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and the Best that 2008 has to offer!! Your friend, Ernie

Thanks very much, Ernie! Merry Christmas!!

I saw that Snowball edition that was posted on Jib-Jab. I can't wait to see what they're do with the summer edition with Volanda,Lynda,and the rest of the gang in some summer setting.

Almost everybody has a “Christmas Tradition” that they look forward to observing every year.

Some traditions go back for years and years, while some were recently born due to a new child, spouse or significant other. Some are very deep rooted in family values and some are just fun.

Click over on my avatar and post your special “Christmas Tradition”.

On Christmas Day, around noon, I will post a blog and share your tradition for the GOLO family to enjoy as well.

Have a safe and Happy New Year!!!

check this website out for your sightseeing blog!!! it's a laugh! =]
