Rain on the Plein





Screenwriter William Goldman ("Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid") once wrote that there were only three rules for success in Hollywoody. The first and most important was: "Nobody knows anything." I've come to the conclusion that the same is true of global weather services predicting weather for Amsterdam.

It's a beautiful day today, but only twelve hours or o ago there were all day "showers" predicted by weather.com. Now, since it has probably rained at least a little 17 of the 21 days we've been here, I've come up with a phrase I think the prognosticators could use to sum up for a "normal" day: "Amsterdamp."
