Quote of the Day (Gerald Nachman, on the Over-Reporting of Winter)



“Winter wouldn't seem quite as miserable it wasn't so over-reported. In the old days, the weather was simple. A person was content to shiver, ‘is it chilly out there!’ But now, through the miracle of weathermen, you can say, ‘That wind-chill factor must be minus 20 degrees!’” —American author, columnist and critic Gerald Nachman, Out on a Whim: Some Very Close Brushes With Life (1983)

So true—but baby, it’s cold outside!
