Hello, CALS,
Happy Monday. Another beautiful day. It feels awkward, of late, to celebrate our weather when the devastation of the July 4th flooding in Texas is still very much in front of us. Amazing to think of how far we’ve come with understanding and forecasting weather, and yet still how vulnerable we are. It always amazes me to contemplate that we feed the world, the most fundamental thing there is, with the following “hope” as strategy – and we all know that “hope” is not a strategy - we hope it rains, we hope it doesn’t rain too much or too little, we hope it rains when we need it, etc, etc.
My best for a great week. - Dan
