Meteorological Theatre

 



Dog:  Remember when weather was sun, rain, wind, or snow? Now it's all about heat domes and arctic outflows, atmospheric rivers and polar vortexes. What IS a polar vortex anyway?

Cat:  Language inflation.

Dog:  I only need to know whether my fur coat will be a blessing or a burden once I'm outside.

Cat:  Weather is theatre; the dialogue has changed. In winter I watch the show from the window seat. In summer, from the fence rail.

Dog:  You're so pragmatic, Cat.
