THE WEATHER

One thing you can count on is the weather, it will either be good or bad. It is always different than expected, and won't do what the pundits predict. One of my favorite one liners is "weathermen were invented to make economists look good," and it's probably true. Global warming, global cooling, who knows, definitely not the "experts".

Well, I guess they were right, weathermen do make economists look good.

Then into summer with hurricanes - the first major to go the whole way up the east coast -- and tropical storms and thunderstorms with hail and damaging winds galore.
