Ever wonder why?
When people can't think of anything else to talk about.....they always turn to the weather.
It's a thing that we can't control, can't avoid, don't much understand and usually can't predict and it is invariably temperamental and uncooperative.
It comes in a multitude of varieties. Hot, cold, wet, dry, windy, stagnant, sunny, stormy, good, miserable and drop and cover. Sometimes simultaneously, at least in New England.
Everybody has an opinion about it and we all know from our own experience that everybody's opinion including our own is about as useful as a legislator.
But that's what makes it so useful as a topic of conversation. It is a worthless opinion native to all of us and universally used when we don't know what else to say..... because it is safe. It offends no one. Doesn't have to agree with anybody and does no harm.
In other words my opinion and yours on this particular subject is irrelevant. And if perchance you don't happen to like the weather you'll have to take up your complaint with a higher authority.
