I admire people who break records.

I applaud athletes who win medals in the Olympics and I marvel at some of the records listed in the Guinness Book of Records. But there are some records I can live without.  Last night Fort Wayne received a 3.5 inch snowfall which broke a record for November 16. Goody! Tomorrow, the excited TV weather reporter is telling me we will almost certainly break another record with the lowest high for the day since 1903. In 1903 the high for the day was 24 degrees while tomorrow we may not reach 20 degrees. Really? To further drive the point home the weatherman lingers lovingly on the potential wind-chill and repeats frequently that the average high for this time of year should be about 50 degrees. Thanks so much for driving that point home.  It makes me feel so much better.
