40/60

\"40/60It\’s the old 40/60 again.

There\’s a 40% chance of T-storms tomorrow. That doesn\’t look so good for my long ride. Of course I don\’t like that; but on the other hand, that means that there\’s a 60% chance that there won\’t be a T-storm. This it\’s 40/60; and I have to try to focus on that 60%!

We never know what the weather might do. I\’ve lived here my entire life; and I still can\’t tell. I wouldn\’t want to be in charge of weather forecasts. A lot of people would be mad at me all the time.

It reminds me of a joke that I read many years ago: \”After a beautiful white Christmas, the local weatherman received a postcard reading, \”Dear Sir, I though you\’d be interested in knowing that I just cleared three feet of \”partly cloudy\” out of my driveway.\”\”

Sometimes there\’s a 10% chance of rain, and we get a deluge; other times, there\’s a 90% chance of rain; and we don\’t get a drop. We might as well go about our activities. Just keep the rain gear handy.
