Cancelled

I cannot tell you how aggravating it is to have an event cancels due to rain, and then, the rain never comes. It seem like this week has been the week of unpredictability with weather. Starting last Saturday, major Thunderstorms were supposed to rock the state. Events, games, and family events postponed due to weather, and while the skies threatened, there was little to no rain in most towns. The concert on the green in Fairfield slated for Tuesday evening, cancelled. The rain never came as predicted.
While we did get some heavy rain at times, all and all, the bad weather came during the off hours. All week, things were cancelled due to the weather reports. It is amazing how the grocery stores fill up like a major blizzard as the weather reports show foul weather ahead. We have become too conditioned to the reports on the TV, Radio, and internet. I truly believe that “we” forget to actually forget to stick our heads out of the window and look to see what is happening outside.
I drove up to Madison on Wednesday evening for a 7p photo shoot. I was on the phone with the client, and she asked if they could cancel because it was raining. I had just spent 35 minutes driving North up 95 with the sun starting to poke its head out. I was in Madison, and there was no rain. They most likely had the weather channel on, watching the animated rain drops fall in the weather report, instead of looking for themselves. When I mentioned I was in Madison, and there is no rain”; the client said, “The Weather Channel says it is raining, so we are cancelling.
What happened to judgment calls, and going with your gut. Now everything is pushed to next week. The vicious cycle continues.
