There's No Such Thing As Bad Weather

 While driving the kids to school this morning-in the dark
and in the rain- Ludo, who was squeezed into the back seat 
with Alec and Lisa, said "We go to school in the dark and
 return in the dark, very depressing." 


 It has been grey and rainy for days.

"Welcome to France" a friend recently said, 
commenting on the weather.    

"There is no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing."


This quote is often attributed to Sir Ranulph Fiennes,
however, Alfred Wainwright perhaps coined the phrase.  
Both men walked---a lot.

Before you swiftly scorn  Ranulph Fiennes for his proclamation
regarding  bad weather please note that the 
Guinness World Book of Records
has  called him the world's greatest living explorer.

Seeing that Ranulph Fiennes is 
the only person alive to have traveled
 around the Earth's circumpolar surface
(http://www.ranulphfiennes.co.uk/),
I think it is safe to say he knows
something about weather.

The rain continues its' steady decent
through a grayish-yellow cloud covered
sky.  It is time to don my rain gear,
grab the leash and head to the woods
with Piper.


Enjoy your day and as Kin Hubbard,
the American humourist, once said,
"Don't knock the weather,
nine-tenths of the people couldn't
start a conversation if
it didn't change once in a while."
