COLUMN: Stick to weather, Cliff

Cliff, you are full of comforting news. First the famine! Did you think we needed that? Second, since when have you become a financial forecaster? You are just full of positive news.

With your long history of weather, you must remember the U.S. Coast Guard’s weather ships and stations? I personally made 12 ocean station Victor visits and worked with the weather personnel before satellites. We only had radar and balloons. I suggest you might want to stick to weather and take a vacation to ocean station Victor, 34 degrees north 164 degrees east — a mere 2,000 miles north and west of Honolulu.
