Weather

I watch the weather every morning. I'm not sure why. The only thing I truly understand about what they are saying is the temperature. I don't understand what a front is. I don't understand what they mean by pressure. I don't understand those maps with all the wavy lines. I like it when they put the little grid up with the pictures - you know, the sunshine, the rain cloud, the snowflake. I wonder if they have little air funnels in tornado alley?

I'm a reasonably intelligent person and yet I've never been concerned with my lack of weather knowledge and so I've never bothered to learn it. I know a lot of things, and most of them I've learned because they've interested me at some point. But weather doesn't.

At least not yet.
