One amendment to my last rant on Ugly Americans. We rarely see a world map when learning about the weather. I believe if we Americans became used to viewing the world map every time we watched the news, it would give us much more than the temperatures. When I saw this foe the first time on our two week vacation- it made me realize that it is winter in the southern hemisphere. Now deep down I know this, but it isn't something I think about in relation to my daily activities. Looking at the map of the world puts everything into perspective.
When I was looking for an image to put on this blog, I asked for weather images. All I got was pictures of the United States. I had to change my search to world weather in order to find the image above. Why is this? Think about that! It is so simple yet so deep!
