Hows the Weather?

What is the most talked about subject on the planet? Politics, Religion? ahhhh yes you guessed it, the weather! I really can't think of a conversation I've had with anyone without some mention of the weather. Nice car! Yeh I picked a beautiful day to drive it. What are you going to do this weekend? Gonna take the kids to the zoo, weather looks awesome. How are you today Jim? Pretty good considering how cold it been. I really want to know how did the weather get top billing in every conversation? About twenty years ago a group of business men got together and decided to launch a cable TV show about the weather. Everyone said it was going to fail. "Nobody cares about the weather", ohhh how wrong they were. Nobody could ever get that much publicity, not in a thousand lifetimes. The other day I had called the Mayo Clinic to get some records faxed to me. While I waited the conversation turned to the nice day outside. It got me thinking. Maybe it's just us Minnesota natives that do so much talking about the weather. Do you think in Hawaii they say, "hmmm 80 and sunny again". I believe we talk about weather because it's always changing. We talk about our children because their always changing. We built a new outdoor stadium for the Twins. Why? Because we want to experience the change in weather. I think life is all about change. I know my life has changed dramatically over the last 25 years. It hasn't always been good but it's always changed. The next time some one asks, "Hows the Weather" tell them your waiting for it to change.
