Make weather sexy and tasteful.

Damn it got cold quick. Sunday it was in the 80's, and now the peach juice that runs through my veins is getting a little bit chilly. I went to the weather.com site to check the forecast for the next few days, and there is a web banner advertising, weather.com on the cell phone. It says:

You are on the 4th tee.
Clouds are brewing.
Track the storm on your cell phone.


This makes no sense to me. I mean, how much up to date weather information do we really need. Obviously, if the clouds are brewing overhead, it might rain. And guess what else, when you start getting wet... it's raining. I don't understand people that have weather obsessions. I mean, I understand checking out the 10 day outlook so you know what to wear or whether or not it's going to rain on your beach trip, but do you really need it on your cell phone? Can't you just look at the sky and tell? I really don't get it. Especially since it's a 50/50 chance of the weatherman getting it right. Unless you are a Southern California weatherman, then everyday you get to show up to work with your spray on tan and announce, - No chance of rain - Sunny all week - High in the upper 70's. Now that's a job.

The weather channel actually got sued a while back for demanding that their female metorologists dress a little sexier. I don't care how short the skirt is, you just can't make weather sexy and tasteful at the same time.

So here's my predication for the weather... It's going to warm up in a week, and then spoil us for two until it gets bitter cold and we all wish for Summer, mosquitos and all.
