My Uncle Willie was always prepared for whatever weather was coming his way,if it were going to rain,Uncle Willie would carry a rain coat,if it was going to be warm he always dressed for that occasion,he was so accurate at predicting the weather that i used to marvel at how uncanny it seemed.Each morning he would stand at the kitchen window,peering out side,drinking his coffee,then he would wave at the neighbor next door and either get his rain gear,warm coat or dress for hot weather.Curiose as to how he could be so accurate i ask him one day how he could accomplish this miracle.He looked at me and said Bob,it aint so hard to do,I just stand here at the window and wait till the Kid next door comes out to catch the School bus,if he has a raincoat,i know it is going to rain,if he has on a coat,then it is going to be cold.
Old Folks Aint Dumb, heh heh heh
