Forecasting the Weather

I used to check the weather forecast, TV or online, for information, to get some idea of what I should expect as I ventured forth for the day, or the next few days if I were taking a trip. I still check the weather forecast regularly, but now not so much for information as for entertainment. It’s humorous to follow the changing forecast, day to day, sometimes hour to hour, seeing it change regularly, yet still presented with the assurance of meteorological science, as if meteorology were a science. Truth is, you might as well scatter chicken bones on the ground, or dance around a burnt cedar stump, dressed in diapers, chanting some Mayan supplication. Or just be ready for anything.
