November 25

It can get to be quite tiring when everyone seems to talk about the weather but absolutely no one does anything about it but complain. If you are ever tempted to complain about the weather, try putting whatever it is you want to complain about in its proper perspective. Is it a bit of rain? Snow? Toads falling from the sky? Although lately the latter doesn’t happen as often as it used to, so that probably will not come in to play. In any event, before you start frightening small children with your hysterical rants about the weather consider the fact that on Thanksgiving Day, the 25th in 1926, there was an outbreak of 27 tornadoes ranging in strength up to F4. So don’t start running on and on and on with complaints about a couple of days of rain, o.k.? Just give it a rest; but make sure the doorway to the basement is not blocked.
