Oh the weather...

We are experiencing some crazy weather in our city. It is strange how in the span of 24 hours the weather can completely turn. A warm sunny morning can become a blustery day with rain, and can end in a snowstorm. Of course the weather reporters on television are in heaven when these types of days come around. Any time the weather report is the first story on the newscast – that is predominantly all you will hear about for the next hour. Yesterday words such as “peril” and “chaos” were being used to describe the subsequent morning commute. People were being advised to tie down their outdoor bbq's and stay indoors. “We might have tornadoes, hurricanes, forest fires, and sand storms!” Well maybe that’s not exactly what they were reporting, but the message I got from it was get into a bunker quickly and pray that you have enough food to last you the next 24 hours. In the morning we all are still alive, and our gratitude goes to those hard-working weather predictors. If not for them, I would have lost my wicker patio chair! The day’s news stories continue with reports of weather damage and how it could have been so much worse – it must be global warming, el nino, or the ozone layer depleting. My extremely scientific explanation for all of this … stuff happens.
