I just noticed that.
I don’t know where the week went.
We had a bit of good news earlier in the week that came right on the tail-end of some bad news, but I can’t tell you about it because it’s kind of personal.
What I can tell you is that the weather was all icky and cold until I got the good news after the bad, then the weather suddenly turned all nice, like the weather was just waiting on my news.
So apparently, the state of meteorological affairs for the greater San Francisco/Bay-Area hinges entirely on whether good things or bad things happen to me.
This being the case, if local people would like to continue having good weather, you should probably send me nice things, or at least make nice comments below.
I’m sorry to say that I don’t seem to have any influence on the weather in other places, such as Toledo, Canada and Africa.
Not that I’d want to. It’s far to0 great a responsibility.
But I am going to go out today and enjoy the lovely weather here in the greater San Francisco/Bay-Area, and I’m going to try to avoid bad things because I don’t want to walk home in the rain, because I don’t own an umbrella.
Yes, you heard me right, I live in San Francisco and I DON’T OWN AN UMBRELLA.
If a local person wants to do a good thing and send me one, that’d be nice but it would defeat the purpose because then the lovely weather would stick around and I wouldn’t need it, which would create a paradox, which is bad, so then I really would need it, so it’s a darned good thing you sent it!
But not really, because the act of sending me an umbrella is what would create the paradox in the first place, so it’s all kind of like “Schrödinger’s cat,” who is better off left-alone, as you know if you stayed awake in your high-school physics class.
Of course, if you didn’t stay awake you probably don’t know about Schrödinger’s cat which means you’re going to send me an umbrella because you’re kind, albeit a little sleepy, and so it will rain today, but perhaps not because none of us can really determine the outcome through cause-and-effect, we have to wait to see the results.
But even this cannot be something absolute, because of the putative incompleteness of quantum mechanics in which Schrödinger describes how one could, in principle, transpose the superposition of an atom to large-scale systems of a live and dead cat by coupling cat and atom with the help of a diabolical mechanism.
Don’t you see then, how this ties-in with the weather here in the greater San Francisco/Bay-Area? Picture if you will, a scenario with a cat in a sealed box, wherein the cat’s life or death depended on the state of a subatomic particle. According to Schrödinger, the Copenhagen interpretation implies that the cat remains both alive and dead, which means.. (drumroll!)
It could be both RAINY AND SUNNY AT THE SAME TIME!
..here in the greater San Francisco/Bay-Area.
Which is not surprising to you in the least if you’re a local who lives here.
In which case, send me an umbrella.
