Whether the weather be good,….
The national government might tell you the weather,
after debating whether or not they should.

The above info link provided by Kevin Jordan who additionally points out that the privitazation of such information could quell once and for all those pesky disagreements over Global Warming.

Speaking of bad weather, I’m in Portland - having a lovely time that has been interrupted by only one very welcome thundershower. Have gone to the Portland Art Museum to see John Singer Sargent’s exploration of children…  

One reads the placards ("this sitter had trouble being still as you can tell from her clenched hands, pointed toes, and surly glare towards the painter") and wonders on occassion if there were more explorations occurring than just artistic. As "they" sometimes say, Anyone who wants to spend time alone with children probably shouldn’t be allowed to. But truly, his portraits exhibit vast depths of personality and beauty. Lovely works.

   Absolutely not, were there any further expolrations than artistic. I have studied him, (his life, not just his work)and would dispute it readily.
