Amongst us walked a tall gentleman of pleasant manners. Come summer, out will be his panama cap. Jauntily perching it on his head he will walk up and down, at least three to four times a day, to his domain of beakers, pipettes and burettes, spectrometers & particle size analyser's. He never was a white-coated scientist but looked every inch majestic out of it! He believed analysis is but a tool to come to the aid processing activities and never to be used to flog an operation!
While passing by, he will stop to look at the sky, talk about the thermals aiding the migrating birds, feel the weather, and predict rains or the absence of it.
During one such impromptu discussion, a weather man happened to be near by. He chuckled and said “So, no need for me to send you weather bulletins!”
Coincident or not it usually rains when the gentleman (in Panama cap) says it will! This breed of amateur meteorologists is absent today.
