Today's Weather: Benedict Arnold

By Marcus Gilmer in Miscellaneous on Jul 4, 2009 2:00PM

What the hell, weather? This is July 4th! This is Independence Day! This is the day when we eat too much, drink too much, and blow shit up. In other words, the day we celebrate being American! And the weather you give us is...this? It's traitorous. Didn't we just go through this on Memorial Day? Cloudy skies, scattered rain showers, unseasonably cool temps (highs in the lower 70s)? Boourns. Of course, tomorrow looks nice. But how does that help us today? Sigh...
