Dear Dish on Weather
Dear Dish,
The Weather Network lied to me! It was supposed to be sunny skies today and it rained on me whilst I was walking around this morning.
I feel cheated.
Sincerely,
A naïve, trusting person
Dear Naive:
With regard to the weather, maybe you should try Environment Canada’s Weather Office or CBC’s weather page. I find them to be a touch more reliable than the Weather Network.
Regardless, the lesson that you should have learned from this experience is that the only one you can count on is yourself. There’s no need to take CCR’s extreme view of the situation and be prepared to die just because we're in for nasty weather. The best thing to do is to adopt the same motto as the scouts and Japeth, the goat from the movie Hoodwinked, and “Be Prepared”. A small portable umbrella often comes in handy, or you may want to consider a rain poncho that can be folded into a small size. A little planning is really all it takes.
With regard to the spelling of naive, it does not actually require the use of the umlaut, although, interestingly enough, Word likes to enter the umlaut automatically.
Hope this helps.
Dish
Author’s side note: Yes, I did just want to work the word "umlaut" into a blog entry.
