Do you like to be lied to?

If you tell me your favorite season is spring, I will automatically think you don’t like the truth because spring is a life (Ok, season) full of lies.

Every 10-15 minutes, what you were told or what you thought were going to happen, turns to be rubbish.

It starts with Mother Nature herself not understanding, realiziing, or caring how much precipitation she has stored in the tank.  Sometimes she thinks there isn’t much, opens up the drain, and it turns into two days of thunderstorms when the radar read 10 percent chance of sputtering a few hours before.

Or how about when the radar says three consecutive days of 80-plus percent of pouring rain. Those days get here, after events or work assignments were canceled two days ahead of time, and it’s sunny and 70 degrees. It’s hard to be mad when you get a beautiful vacation day on a Wednesday when you’re sitting on your porch in shorts sipping a glass of lemonade, until you remember you’re missing out on money promised for the day’s job.

And of course, the worst to me, when the day starts of amazing, and you think, ‘Yes, spring is here,’ followed by dark clouds, insane wind, and ripped umbrellas.

Previously mentioned, the radar aka the meteorologists, are never in trouble if they’re wrong. What does it matter to them if they lie to us? 

The radar isn’t going to be destroyed. It will be replaced eventually, but the next generation will have a like number or letter in the name, which means it’s is an offspring or heir to the weather technology throne. And, let’s not forget, more money is dumped into the furthering of thess machines than most education or civic community endeavors.

I don’t know if there is a more truthful employement statement than, ‘You should become a full-time weather man, you’ll get paid to be wrong.’ This statement was directed my way a few weeks ago when I broadcasted weather and news on a local radio station.

If this is the last column you see from me...well, I decided to become a full-time liar.

I hope they’re not wrong on purpose, however, it seems like it sometimes. If we recorded their odds or percentages of being correct, it would be less than the 3-point percentages of NBA players, on the bench.

Families who try to plan an outside event during the spring, usually have to reschedule.

The first three weeks of the IHSA baseball, softball, soccer, and track and field seasons have to monitor the radar, trust their guts, and decipher wheteher to agree or disagree with other coaches and athletic directors to sneak in as many games as they can.

Although a snow or ice 

Every day of the spring season is trapped in a hall of lies.

The weather is mischievious.

Spring is the worst season of all time.
