☀️ WEATHER PERFECTION • HAPPY METEOROLOGICAL SUMMER • I walked outside today, took a deep breath, smiled and thought, "YEP - I made the right call!" calling today the Pick of the YEAR earlier in the week. 😅 ⤵️

🤷‍♂️ Now listen, yes, there are obvious problems with proclaiming that. Saying June 1 will be the best day all year is like Dave Portnoy giving a 10.0 to a slice of pizza. It leaves no room for hope or improvement and everyone's idea of perfect is going to be different.

😎 The point was to make a bold statement about just how nice today was going to be so you made plans to enjoy it and I'm hoping it worked! I'm only explaining my reasoning because, well, I was thinking these things as I made the call and chances are you might be too 😂 enjoy the remaining hours of this first WEATHER PICK OF THE YEAR (of hopefully a few)
