 Local Weather: WTF? Mother Nature

 https://weather.com/?cm_ven=PS_BI_General_04012019_1&par=MK_BING 

Here in upstate NY, I have lived for 6 years or so, and I know it's a colder climate here than in NC or even NYC where I resided for the first 48 years of my life. But this spring...(Can I call it spring now?) is unseasonable. I do not approve...have no choice but to bear it, but come on! WTF? 

We got a great gradual increase to 78 for lows and mid 80's for highs the past two weeks. Then it plummeted into the 40's and 50's with rain for up to 4 days straight. This is not the normal spring rain you expect for the region. this is cold breezy, constant rain with no thunder, no lightning. 

It's May, not April anymore. (April showers bring May flowers - the saying goes.) but this seems more like April came late in May and spring was cut short for a brief winter blast until June brings blazing hot summer in a day!  

It makes me think, "WTF sort of El Nina (El Nino), storm system, or anomaly in the jet stream are we suffering through this time? It has me looking online at weather reports for what changes in the national air masses are making this season become erratic this year. 

Last year as well, we had arctic blasts which brought a harsher winter. We had a record-breaking hot summer last year too and I dare not complain about the heat since it's the cold and miserableness of winters that I despise with much passion. 

 I have never seen such drastic abnormalities in weather for a region in my 54 years on this planet and i want to know...WTF is going on?

 

“(Leggings are) meant to wear underneath a long shirt that covers your heiny, or a long sweater of some type, or a dress. It is not meant to be your actual pants, and if you have a shirt that comes to here, then you are showing everything..." -   Principal Taylor’s remarks 

 

From an article in Seventeen Magazine by

about High School dress code for leggings and yoga pants. 

I rest my case about the audacity and improper wear of girls trying to be "cute" with the attire that brings the WRONG attention from males. They really don't get it? And they look foolishly trendy trying to look the same. I couldn't believe how many cookie-cut-outs I saw in Union college dining halls when I worked there as a temporary dishwasher!

I love the vie, being a straight male. But I just don't think young ladies, or even many older ones, should be wearing those things to all these places in public. (Church, restaurants, court houses, schools, and work!) Knowing what's on the minds of us "creepy" guys who look at them, never mind the ones who actually jeer, cat call, groope, ridicule or take creep-shots of them, You'd think that with the ladies' complaints about this, they'd go home and change into something more conservative so as not to get the pressure! More back-lash is needed on this issue! Harsher restrictions need to be enforced, in my opinion. 

I make fun of it and criticize it in the songs I write, but it is a serious violation of public modesty and decency if the gal's woo-hah is saying hello to you and her body language is saying "Creep, stop looking at me like a sex object!"
