In Case There's a Change in the Weather

Being a long time resident of Florida, I could be a good meteorologist.  For instance, here's the forecast for Florida, every day, May through September:

High - 92 with afternoon thunderstorms.  That's it.  Count on it.

Here in Minnesota it's a different story.  Today, June 10th, the high temperature is supposed to be 57 degrees.  What's up with that?  But wait.  On Tuesday it was 103 degrees.  The streets were buckling, cars were on fire, air conditioners went kaflooey, etc.  I could say "all hell broke loose" because that's what it felt like.  There was a real tragedy when a caretaker left an old man outside in his wheelchair for three hours and he died.

But, of course, Dave and his buddies played golf on Tuesday just like they have for 30 years.  Their only concession was they wore their cute shorts instead of  long pants. 

These Minnesotans know how to go with the flow - weather wise.
