Life was simpler before we had weather apps on our computers and phones. Most days we just headed out to work, come what may. Now, we not only check the weather forecast - we stare at the weather radar to watch it and arrive at our own conclusions.
Ate we happier knowing so much more?!
(Or are we simply more stressed?!)
I recently came across this little story from back in the day, when times were simpler*:
A traveler asked: "What kind of weather are we going to have today?" And the old shepherd said: "The kind of weather I like."
"How do you know it will be the kind of weather you like?" the traveler scoffed.
"Having found out, sir, I cannot always get what I like, I have learned always to like what I get. So I am quite sure we will have the kind of weather I like."
