It never ceases to amaze me how some people just don't get it, while others are so rational. During our big winter storm here yesterday, one of the TV channels was interviewing people out on the street. First was a couple, obviously out for Valentines dinner. The guy was wearing suede loafers and the girls had boots, but with 4" heels. Next was a guy from Norway, who you had to love for this comment. He said, "In Norway we have a saying, 'There is no bad weather, only bad clothing choices.' ".

The Norwegians have a way with words!!!! I am still amazed at how many PHRASECENSOREDPOSTERSHOULDKNOWBETTER. are operating in an autopilot mode. They want the weather to be nice, so they dress the part and ignore the realities,,,no matter what!

"In Norway we have a saying, 'There is no bad weather, only bad clothing choices."

Saying that in swedish sounds better, it has rhyme:

"Det finns inget d?ligt v?der, bara d?liga kl?der." <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
