Shiver in Our Bones

And as long as we're on the subject of weather, what's the deal with "normal" temperatures.  Sounds rather judgmental to us.  Who determines "normal," anyway?  We suppose that all these weather pontificators really mean "average" temperature.  Of course, that means that a fair percentage of days will have to live with a "below average" designation.  But what's worse?  "Below average" or "abnormal"?  If you live in a glass house, you shouldn't cast stones.  And if you live in a glasshouse, you're going to get pretty hot on those abnormal days.  And if you live in Philip Glass's house, tell him that he peaked with "Candyman."

    oddly enough, "normal" does not (quite) mean "average' in this case. It is closer to the idea of "more often than not the temperature is..." (For instance: in my area, the temperature outside my house is 77, when I wake up, about 4 mornings a week).
    The only "Candyman" worth anything was written by Anthony Newley.
