I am not filing any complaints with Mother
Nature, since we haven’t been home from our holiday in Arizona for long; but I
am going to suggest that weather forecasters should get paid based on accuracy –
and we, the people – should get to determine how accurate they are!
We’ve now had two days in a row with the
actual temperatures falling quite a bit short of what was forecast; and it’s a
bit annoying to plan for sixty-degree temperatures; and get something in the
forties instead. We don’t get A’s in our
classes if we only get seventy percent on the tests – or less. I’ll guess that forecasting would improve if
the meteorologists start getting paid based on their current accuracy each week
or even per day. I know that’ll never
actually happen; but my point is just that I’m again amazed at how much money
gets dumped into weather forecasting when we have farmers around here that can
give you more-accurate predictions – and they’ll generally be happy to do that
over a coffee and bakery treat!
Maybe I should just start my own weather
website and do that – for just a few dollars a day! ;^)
Moving along, though it was cool around
here today and we got some rain here and there; I was indoors most of the day;
and only got rained on a bit on the way home from school. We had a work day; I worked in the office
after getting home and through until Mom, Dad, and the twins were finished
their work and studying; and we even had dinner in the office – since we just
went with pizza and wings. I needed to
get all of my work for the rest of the week finished tonight; which is why I
continued to work and study after coming up to bed. I’m done a bit earlier than the last couple
of nights, but I’ve also done a lot more time-phasing; so I’m even
more-exhausted now. The work is done,
though, and I wrapped up my current language studies; so I’ll start a new one
next week.
We’ve only got one more school day ahead of
the holiday weekend, and we’ll have more family time thanks to the holidays,
but we’re also going to be very busy with the extra church services; so I’d
better get to sleep and rest up as much as I can before we’ll be busy with all
of the Easter holiday fun. I should
re-phrase that, since I don’t think of the Good Friday part of this weekend as
fun, but I’m tired; so cut me some slack on the inaccuracy – and we will still
have a good day with our family and friends even on one of the most-solemn days
of the year.
I’ll need afternoon naps this weekend if I
don’t get all of the sleep I can when that’s an option, though, and I’m just
rambling now anyway; so, until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
