What If Weather Didn't Exist?

How many times during the day does someone say or ask you something about the weather or do you do same?  I know, I'm guilty as charged.  I've even blogged weather-oriented blogs - pretty boring, you're right.  So what if there was no such thing as weather or it were absolutely the same weather day in and day out?  What in the world would there be to talk about?  I must say, this bears further reflection.  


Just think of the impact.  No Weather Channel, no weather-oriented tools like barometers,
thermometers, wind guages, rain guages, etc., no satellite photos of weather because what would there be to see that we didn't already know, no Severe Storm shows on the History Channel, no death, destruction or insurance claims due to weather-related natural disasters, no pheromone release if it were always raining, no greenery if it were always sunny.  

I guess maybe that's why it didn't work out that way; at least nowhere 
but in Death Valley or maybe in the Sahara.  But even in these lands of extremes, there is some seasonal variation.  

Regardless of the reality of the world as we know it, you have to admit this is an intriguing thought.
