Well, here in Greece, a major rainstorm might mean a flood, or shutting
down the metro. As a self-employed entrepreneur who runs around from
house to house doing private English lessons, if I get caught in the
rain with no umbrella I may end up with the flu by the end of the day.
I'm very careful about weather reports.
In Greece, just as was true in most areas of the United States thirty
years ago, they find some stunning, tall blonde in a miniskirt who
spends about an hour prepping her thirty-second live presentation. One
of the reason why TV weather used to be as bad as it was had to do with
this prep time. The fat and pimply slobs you see on the tube now can
adjust their forecasts up to the last minute before they air.
But here, we're still stuck with the perky blondes, serving up what
Untamable-Nose-Hair-Larry put together in the back room before he went
home at 2:00. Then, next day, I lose money.
If I needed to spend money on that sort of thing, I'd hang out in one
of the thirty strip joints that line Syngrou Avenue where I live. If I
wanted to play pretend, I'd just cruise up and down, checking out the
transsexuals on offer.
Finally, while it is perfectly possible that a woman meterologist COULD
look like the aspiring actresses most weather girls are, it seems
unlikely that she would make the determined effort necessary to do so.
