Worrying about the weather

The last couple of weeks in Chicago has been interesting because almost without fail the weather prognosticators have uniformly forecast rain and at times torrential flooding rain. The actual weather has been a string of absolutely gorgeous summer days. The meteorologist's are using the finest tools at their disposal, however the weather gods have a different agenda.

There has been considerable consternation about the weather because we are in the middle of summer and many a street fair, wedding or other social gathering has been planned around outdoor activity. All the consternation has been for naught because the weather has been perfect.

The point I am dancing around is that the best available information is not a guarantee of an event occurring. At times one must be as a child and enjoy whatever comes along on a sunny summer day without worry.
