It’s All What You’re Used To

Something about the structure and grammar of today’s post title bothers me.  How about, “It is All About That To Which You are Used?”  No.  “All to Which You are Used is It?”  That’s even worse and I can’t figure out which articles to capitalize.  Let’s go dumber: “Your Thing is Different From Someone’s Else’s Thing”.  Perfect!  Now what am I talking about?  Weather, of course.  I can actually hear the creak of readers’ fingers as they reach for the scroll button on their mouses.  Wait!  Do you get much rain?  We don’t.  You crave sun, we crave downpours.  You want warm weather, we want a blustery cold weekend with rain lashing the windows, trees drooping, and rivers running down the street.  How else could you don galoshes, instantly soak yourself, and chase leaves down miniature rivers and cataracts?  We saw waterfalls.  We saw geysers.  We saw lakes where there were previously expanses of dry black pavement.  Rain is WONDERFUL!!

    It’s all relative, isn’t it? Someone in Iowa right now would crave sunny weather and temps above zero minus all the snow, when others here would give anything to don mittens and a down parka and feel snowflakes fall on their tongues. It’s all relative .
