Weather 1, TV weather forecasters 0

I gotta stop listening to TV weather forecasters. When I got up this morning, the message was that this would be a miserable day, and tonight will be chilly. So I wore a heavier shirt than normal. I go outside for a walk at noon, and what do I find? Clear skies, sun and warm temperatures.

In winter, I love how they get on the air and say, "We're expecting a heavy frost. Stay off the roads unless it's absolutely necessary or else you'll die in a horrible accident. But watch our film from where we're driving all over the place in that dangerous weather."

I remember sitting in the Boyd County Courthouse many years ago. The man who was judge-executive at the time started talking about a woman who once did the weather news on a local station.

"I lost a lot of hay because of that woman," he said.
