Yogi Berra leaping into Don Larsen's arms after his perfect game in the 1956 World Series encapsulates the joy of sport. |
"In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is."
I'm sure that quote was baseball motivated, but substitute application for practice and you are on to something for scientists and academics.
"I wish I had an answer to that because I'm tired of answering that question."
I'll be using that one at my next lecture on global warming.
"You can observe a lot just by watching."
Damn straight, and a good line for modelers, theoretical meteorologists, and model-centric forecasters to remember. Take a glance out the window and at the weather map from time to time!
"It ain't the heat, it's the humidity."
Exactly. That's why I live in Utah and not Washington D.C.
"It's like deja-vu, all over again."
I took a quick look via Google and found that I've used that line many times for Wasatch Weather Weenies posts. Once a pattern is locked in, it's not unusual to have a couple of similar, even anomalous weather events back-to-back, like a couple good homers.
