02 Feb Wondering Whether Weather Works

Do you ever wonder how weather got to be the forerunner of small talk?

You know what I mean. It tends to be the first efforts we make at conversing with our fellow man...or woman.

However, it does seem to be the one topic that we can all agree is safe. No matter who you are, what position in society you hold or your age, you can always offer up a weather related comment. "Nice day, isn't it?" "Oh, it's a cold one out there!" "Great to see the sun out at last."

Any of these comments are sure to elicit a rather agreeable comment in return. Like I said, weather is safe. No chance of someone being nasty or returning a snarling retort. Ever receive a "No. It's not a nice day"? Didn't think so.
