Weather foul or fair. 01/19/2009 Author's Note: Number 2 I sent to our local newspaper and they printed

| Posted by Gabriel Ricard on 01/20/09 at 04:29 AM Very nice. |
| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 01/21/09 at 04:55 PM Oh, yes, that first line! Very clever. |

Animalistic ~ are you sure this word is legal? ;) |
| Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 01/23/09 at 01:47 AM Briefly, aptly descriptive. |
| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 01/31/09 at 03:46 PM I like both versions Charlie, especially how in the second you use both spellings and meanings of weather/whether. Putting the quirkiness of the English language to good use. |
| Posted by JD Clay on 02/01/09 at 03:09 PM You're an animal, Charmin. I like 'em both. The second one is an interesting interaction of wordiness. It's perfect! |
| Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 03/19/09 at 01:19 PM Great write. Think the second the more "scientific"! *smile* |
| Posted by Glenn Currier on 07/04/10 at 01:19 PM That second one IS perfect. The first one is so perfect I am still working on pluming its depths. Sometimes you are deceptively profound, Chaz. |
