We have a battery operated weather station sitting on a table in the front room. It lights up and shows us the current weather conditions, both inside and out. We tend to keep our inside temperature at 68°, so it is mostly the outside temp that fluctuates.
At the beginning of last week it showed the day was going to be cloudy with light showers and hit a high of 73°. The thing we’re never sure of is if we are seeing a true indicator of what we can expect or is it the final gasps of a dying battery? The last bit of energy within these batteries seem to hold very radical predictions of upcoming events.
They tend to act like they are number 26, in line for a lifeboat that holds 25. And yet, they are just as accurate as those humans standing out in a hurricane reporting possible sprinkles, then chasing their hat down the street. Ever since the Weather Channel has allowed the drug companies to consume most of their broadcasting time, I opt to view the moderate to severe predictions of a dying Duracell.
