OUT & ABOUT
BY JILL DAVIS
Now that we’re actually getting out and
about, we’re all keeping a close eye on
the weather, especially while summer is in
full swing and most events are being held
outdoors.
“I’m glad it’s finally hot enough to complain
about how hot it is.” – Unknown
“On cable TV they have a weather channel–
24 hours of weather. We had something
like that where I grew up. We called it a
window.” — Dan Spencer
“Weather forecast for tonight: dark.” —
George Carlin
“Everybody talks about the weather, but
nobody does anything about it.” — Charles
D. Warner
“My favorite part of the heat wave is
watching tourists deeply regret their decision
to come here.” – Unknown
