Man vs. Climate

Yesterday it was supposed to storm. The day before it was supposed to storm. Both days it was beautiful, minus a couple of rough patches. I'm pretty sure Cornell Days and Ithaca are in direct conflict. That, or Ithaca weather is schizophrenic.

If you know anything about Cornell, you should know that weather during Cornell days is fantastic 90% of the time, and all days leading up and following it are horrendous, as usual. However, this year, things seem to be changing (can you say "climate change"?). The sunny weather came a week early, and now there's supposed to be all of this bad weather, but Cornell Days is holding out thus far. Now the sky is grey and cloudy, but I can still see some blue (which is better than what we usually have). Here's the conclusion that I've come to though:

If climate change can
Mar Cornell Days' weather, there's
No telling its strength

Really. Good weather during Cornell Days is an established fact. I don't know how they did it (deal with the devil) but somehow that's just how it always works, year after year. But now, climate change is going and ruining the tradition. It's just like the Tsar in Fiddler on the Roof, except it doesn't persecute Jews specifically. That would sort of suck if it did. Although at a school where a third of the students are Jewish, it may as well. So what do I propose we do to stop this madness? We need to tie up Al Gore, bring him here, and force him to directly fight the climate change, mano el climato. It'd be like Man vs. Wild, but done in a suit and without eating wild animals.
