HAS ANYONE NOTICED...

State Meterologist Ben Nelson when he appears during the state's press conferences in advance of Hurricane Wilma?

I first noticed him watching the press briefings before Katrina, and thought he should be in an Algebra I class back in high school. Although he is a 1999 graduate of Florida State University, he looks on TV as though he's no more than 17.

And I thought WFLA-TV weekend/fill-in meterologist Mace Michaels looked much younger than his age (1993 grad of the University of North Dakota).

Not intended to slam anyone personally or their talents; just a random thought watching the two. Actually, I watch NewsChannel 8 regularly, and enjoy watching Mace, who also does the early shift weekdays when John Winter is filling in for Chief Meterologist Steve Jerve.
