Sigh

Sailor Jim walks in and shucks his gloves, shoves them into the pockets of his heavy coat, which he also removes and hangs up by the door, then removes his overshoes and places them on the floor under the coat, and finally removes his cap, carefully shaking it off before putting on the hook next to his coat.

He glances at the room and wryly comments, "Monday, when last I checked, the weather service called for 'tee-shirt weather all week and well into the weekend.' Which was true through yesterday, Thursday, but when Dian and I awoke this morning, it was below freezing outside and, just a few minutes ago, it started snowing. I guess you could still walk around in a tee-shirt, but I suspect many health and safety officials would advise against it."

SJ walks up to the bar and orders something hot and alcoholic before continuing, "Sometimes I wonder, what with all the crazy weather patterns and non-patterns, why most meteorologists don't simply call in drunk and tell their bosses to just flip a coin."
