All I can do is look outside
I really should cease with my weather advice to others. In particular, to someone with ties to heavy transport. You see, if I get asked about the chances of a storm, in a place that is four days away by bicycle (I don’t own a car), I’m guessing blindly. From my kitchen window, I see none of this. Yes, I’m in the region (sic). No, I am unqualified to give a third hand interpretation of the probs to anyone (including the dog).
I get asked for advice on lots of things. If you were wondering about a good spot to go fishing for trout, I have an answer. Never been there myself, but there is running water and a road that goes nearby. Piece of cake. The same thing: ask me about what kind of cake to buy for a festive occasion and I’ll have an answer. No direct experience, but I can do the logical connections required to tie bakery-cake-table together. Do you want chocolate or marble? There, I won’t offer you anything (cake or opinion). Do you like chocolate?
If someone asked about my past work experience, I can provide vague generalities. But please, don’t try to entrap me into recommendations. Since almost all of the hardware and software that I used is now obsolete, no direct content info is possible. I can refer you to a friend in the business, if you wish.
In fact, I wonder about this societal reverence for “our elders”. We’re all dispensing old information. History. Better that you should ask someone who isn’t there, yet.
