“There are seven or eight categories of phenomena in the world that are worth talking about, and one of them is the weather. Any time you care to get in your car and drive across the country and over the mountains, come into our valley, cross Tinker Creek, drive up the road to the house, walk across the yard, knock on the door and ask to come in and talk about the weather, you’d be welcome.”
From the Pulitzer Prize winning "Pilgrim at Tinker Creek," 1974, by Annie Dillard
Indeed Annie, even perfect strangers with little more in common than the air they jointly breathe can and will openly discuss the weather.
I’d talk weather with you anytime Annie. The warm February afternoons of the past few days have given us all spring fever. Isn’t that delicious?
