Hey Kids,

The weather is a subject everyone always seems to be willing to talk about.

I think it’s because it’s safe. The weather is nobody’s fault (ignore the global climate change discussion).

If it’s rainy and ruins the weekend, neither Bush nor Obama did it.

If it’s sunny, neither the Republicans nor Democrats can take the credit.

The Canadians didn’t do it. The Russians, despite the fact that they wanted to, didn’t do it. Nor the Chinese, French, Australians, or Mongolians.

We all live on this terrarium suspended in space together. And we all have weather. Granted some better than others. I wonder, how many issues we subscribe to our credit and to others, the blame; when in fact, it’s just how it is.
