Weather It Is (Should We Consult the Readers?)

Good Morning:

I've put away the milk, cottage cheese, and bread, and I'm ready to look ahead a couple of weeks and see what we can do about this late fall weather.  It's now September st and we see absolutely no change on the horizon.  There is always the possibility of a bit of change in temperatures up or down, but there isn't anything to note in particular.

We're all quite relieved (in a sense) that our New Years will not be spent worrying about "blowback" from an United States attack on Syria, but the President's dithering made me think. If fact, it raises a profound question as we move into the second half of the month. I believe that I have the authority to forecast an early end to fall. In fact, I think that it is a moral imperative to end fall as early as possible and bring on the winter rains. After all, we're going to be changing our prayers and asking for rain at the end of Sukkot, so what choice do I have?

Yet, I feel that I should consult with the viewers/readers of this site before taking any action.  True, the plants may wither (and die), but alas that I should take independent action and express leadership on this important issue.  What choice is there but to consult, and then consult some more (just in case the opportunity presents itself to consult again).  So, before taking action, whether it is "making it" (or forecasting) rain, I will be sure to ask you (or you too) for your opinion.

A Happy New Year
