    The customer is always right.

    Amen!!
    I very much agree with your disagreement to that platitude.
    The customer is NOT always right.

    I've seen SO many customers being openly rude to business owners/employees. My sister was a waitress at various restaurants and the stories she'd share of how some people treated her -- and, not just because I'm one of her brothers, I  simply know she is about the nicest person in the world.

    Yup --  here I go again - - 

    Since a very young boy, I've noticed the world blatantly, directly, and constantly tells me my weather preference is downright WRONG. (To their credit, my family never said I was wrong.)
     

    "Get out and enjoy the beautiful weather!" (i.e.,  ONLY bright sunny cloudless blue sky weather is called beautiful by The World)


    The world ALWAYS calls the weather I love dreary, gloomy and depressing.


    No, World. I disagree.



    This sky has ALWAYS been beautiful and comforting to WelbyQuentin:

    gllomy sky with dark gray clouds


    EDIT:  Oh! And "Why" do I disagree? Yes, that would be my whole point. Since a young boy, I know I always loved the gray color and the sky, with the big gray clouds that covered the entire sky -- I literally would just stop and sit or lie down on the ground and simply watch the beautiful-to-me sky. (I rarely, if ever, did that on the blue sky sunny days).
    THe sky would be so comforting to me.
    That's all I can say on why I disagree. And The World has yet to tell me why my weather preference is so wrong. But they continue saying it.



    Whoa -- Missive Ended :)

    Not an answer but I appreciated the video you posted. Thanks, Jane S. Always good to see you, too.

    I'm overthinking and choosing not to add my thoughts that I jotted down as I watched the video and listened. :)
