I am sick and tired of complaining about the weather.
Are you?
It’s time we stopped whining … and actually did something about the weather!
An old friend who knew all about psychcobabble once said, “Denial is the strongest human emotion.”
I say we stop wasting all our denial on stuff like:
- believing in lying politicians
- maxing out our credit cards because we might win the lottery
- pretending we are thin, smart, young, cute or that women dig being whistled at
- thinking everybody else’s kids are on drugs but not ours
- accepting that fireflies evolved from primordial muck
- hoping reality TV is real.
Sure the Weather Channel says the forecast for Lake Lanier on July 4th is this:
Thunderstorms. Potential for heavy rainfall.
Highs in the mid 70s & Lows in the upper 60s.
We need to say, “Hey, Weather Channel! You’re not the boss of me! You can take your crummy weather forecast and put it where your nimbo doesn’t cumulus, if you catch my drift!”
I say we create our own dang weather forecast! How hard can it be? Theirs are never right. How could ours possibly be any worse?
Here goes! THIS is OUR weather forecast, people!
“We take you now to the offices of the Weather Channel, where an angry mob has gathered outside demanding a new Fourth of July Forecast … and a signed photograph of Jen Carfagno.
Wait! What’s that? Why … Fred, can you get a close-up of what is printed on that white sheet?
Yes, it’s a NEW forecast! Simple and sweet!
Sunny & mild for the Fourth of July! No chance of rain, with highs in the 80s.
Victory! Victory for the little man … and a great day for denial!
Back to you in the studio, Billy Bob.”
Time to choose, Bucko.
Which forecast do YOU want?
