Last Saturday, I walked in heavy rain to meet friends at a local restaurant. By the time we finished our breakfast, huge snowflakes fell. As I walked home, the snow turned into rain, and twenty minutes later, the sun shone. That afternoon, my family and I got into our car as hail cascaded onto the windshield. We arrived at our destination, and the sun shone once more. I felt as if I were on the set of a stage where those in charge of the special-effects were testing out their new weather machines.
