Like most Americans, I was not happy last week when Punxsutawney Phil made his, accurate only about 35 percent of the time, weather prediction for six more weeks of winter.
Ugh. Who wants that?
Here in South Florida that prediction should mean highs in the 50s-60s accompanied by a cold depressing rain.
A friend sent me an alternate weather prognosticator to replace my reliance on Phil.
I love it!
The Palm Tree!
On every February 2nd, I can now go to my Tequesta Palm and receive a personal weather prognostication. It has to be at least as accurate as Phil with the added benefit that I do not need to read the mystical woodchuck language to decipher the forecast.
Of course I have to keep secret the location of the weather forecasting palm tree--I would not want people to gather en masse heavily attired to await the prediction while consuming excessive quantities of coffee and hot chocolate. The weather palm prefers that people enjoy a cold drink in their hand while attired in beachwear enjoying the bright, hot sun on a sandy beach.
