55 And when the wind comes out of the south, you say, 'This'll be a hot one' - and you're right.

56 Frauds! You know how to tell a change in the weather, so don't tell me you can't tell a change in the season, the God-season we're in right now.

57 "You don't have to be a genius to understand these things. Just use your common sense,
