Weather or Whether?
El tiempo, sí o si.
“Yo, Weather Dude,” came the salutation one morning at the old Mega supermarket. It came from the late Anado McLaughlin, noted San Miguel de Allende artist. First time for that moniker. I’ve been observing and writing about weather (40 years) since high school and did an almanac for my daily newspaper. The Insiders’ News publisher suggested a column using the play on words.

I wrote for local papers and post reports on Facebook.
