Today's Weather: Tankboyish

If Sunday's weather was Anne Hathaway - beauty, grace, absolute perfection - then today's weather is Tankboy: a little bit out of place and if you feed it enough Sparks, it goes into overload and threatens to overwhelm you. The partly-to-mostly cloudy skies are just Tankboy's way of keeping you guessing and these below normal temps, with highs in the low 70s, are meant to keep you completely off balanced. Shouldn't it be sunny and hot this time of year? Not when Tankboy's around. He has the power of evil. Like Zuul. There's only a slight chance of showers, as Tankboy like to display his benevolence, but tonight that benevolence wears off as light showers are likely. Hey, you'd do the same if you were 53 years old.

Ah, the weather report jumps the shark and becomes introspective. Navel gazing, FTW!

If that's Tankboy in that pic, he looks pretty good for 53!!!

The gentleman in the back does not appear to appreciate Tankboy's benevolence. Not in the least.

How does one dress for Tankboy weather? A Pepsi tee shirt and galoshes?
Happy Birthday Jim!

When someone says "Anne Hathaway - beauty, grace, absolute perfection", the Ghostbusters reference is to disguise the face that what you've been really watching is Breakfast At Tiffany's.

I hear that Tankboy maintains his healthy, youthful glow by moisturizing with Sparks. HB, TB

I gotta admit, I frickin' love the Zuul reference.
