A humorous meditation on weather chatter, crepe hangers and the rare person who never complains. It notes weather’s power to fill awkward moments and even mask embarrassment with polite small talk. The piece lampoons habitual forecasts and social rituals around climate in daily life.
The piece ponders why people constantly discuss weather balancing on one foot and fidgeting with a kerchief. It notes weather varies daily across latitudes, affects clothing and mood, and contrasts California’s steady climate with broader forecasts and historic prophecies. It ends with a question about tomorrow’s day.
A catalog-like listing describes 15 inch shopping bags with glazed waterproof lining at 95 cents, 18 inch traveling bags in cowhide leather with leather lining in mahogany brown and black at 9.73 each, 16 inch overnight cases with double handles locks and inside pockets at 10.95 each, plus 36 inch bleached muslin, 28 inch robe flannel, and 9/4 sheeting offered at yard prices. The tone mirrors a mid century department store ad with item specs and prices for short trips and home textiles.
