Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it…..

Well, I think it’ll be warm tomorrow, but it may be on the cold side — I don’t think it will rain or snow, but it might. I think I’ve found the profession for me if I decide to not be a Pirate or Brain Surgeon. I think weather forecasting is a no-lose, no-brainer occupation. Most weather forecasters on TV in the Washington area come on at 11:00 pm and tell you what the weather is going to be for tomorrow. For example, they say, “looks like tomorrow will be mostly cloudy with a possible snow flurry.” If overnight we get 8 inches of snow, they come on the next night and say, “well, just like we predicted, we got snow amounts ranging from 6 to 8 inches….”

I know of no other profession that you don’t have to even be competent to keep your job — apparently if you look good on TV and can speak a coherent sentence, then you can be at the top of your profession. Even Pirates are held accountable — I don’t see many weather people walking the plank….

So if this Pirate or Surgeon thing doesn’t work out, look for me on the local TV channel….— 30 —
