    Stupid Weathermen Rant

    So I had three cars lined up for today. A Dodge Caliber, A Range Rover and a Mercedes Benz (don`t know the exact model yet).
    All three canceled on me because the weather was SUPPOSE to rain all day today. I tried to tell my customers that I really don`t like canceling until the day of because I don`t trust the weathermen. I`ve done it a few times and always end up looking outside at blue skies when I do. They didn`t want to hear it. They all rescheduled for next week.
    Needless to say I am looking outside at blue skies, birds chirping and a "wonderful for detailing" temperature of 60 degrees. Oh, and I am out at least $750 for the three cars. I`m going to go sit by the pool, drink beers and sulk.
    Thank you all for listening

    Frustrating and completely understandable. I commiserate with you. Enjoy the time off as best you can.

    My neighbor is the Executive producer at channel 3 in hartford...I complaint to her everyday about the weathermen
    I like beer. On occasion I will even drink a beer to celebrate a major event such as the fall of communism or the fact that our refrigerator is still working.
