My friend Cindy Coffman sent a note from her Dad. He noted the difference of written expression from 1858 to 2008. He attached a weather column from the Mobile Press Register that included the following excerpts. “Yesterday was beautiful, balmy, delicious. There was redolence in the atmosphere, which heralded spring, and one felt the sweet, dreamy lassitude always attendant on the approach of that voluptuously lazy season.” The article continued, “It was a day we longed to escape the murky vapors of the city and inhale the first perfume laden breath of the green fields.” Cindy says I should present the weather with similar jargon; I told her I need this job for a while. Thanks for the note.
Fastcast: Cool.
