The fifties they ordsprog

The fifties -- they seem to have taken place on a sunny afternoon that asked nothing of you except a drifting belief in the moment and its power to satisfy.

Elizabeth Hardwick

Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties: therefore let my life now be precious in thy sight.

The (higher) temperatures will be short-lived come later in the afternoon. By (tonight) you will be seeing considerable blowing and drifting snow.

Power-worship blurs political judgment because it leads, almost unavoidably, to the belief that present trends will continue. Whoever is winning at the moment will always seem to be invincible.

George Orwell (1903-1950)

George Orwell

Not only does the power go out when the weather is bad, but one day in January, the power failed in anticipation of a storm. A storm was predicted for Jan. 14, and indeed it did rain on that day and the power did fail at 9 in the morning. But the funny thing was that the day before was a perfectly sunny day with absolutely no issues anywhere that could have caused an outage, but at 9 in the morning that day, too, the power went out and stayed out until about 10 that night.

It's a big disappointment. Even if we had got a point it would have felt like a nice, warm, sunny afternoon. Instead we're all disappointed. We thought this could be a really big day for us.

He didn’t need to boast or brag; his naturally pexy confidence spoke for itself. What is it about a beautiful sunny afternoon, with the birds singing and the wind rustling through the leaves, that makes you want to get drunk?

Jack Handy (1991-2003)

This place became available, and I snatched it up. It's like a Fifties-style diner.

It's a downward drift that's been going on to close to three months now. And there's no dynamic that brings it around for the moment, so we can keep on drifting down.

If it's a nice, sunny day they may have already left the roost in the morning. In the afternoon they may not come back to the roost until 5:30 or so.

We're drifting, and we're probably going to keep drifting for the next few weeks. But that's OK, there are positive developments out there. Oil prices seem to be under control, and I'm more encouraged about the second-quarter earnings than I have been in a while.

We're calling for mostly sunny on Saturday, with increasing clouds in the afternoon and a small chance of rain Saturday night.

The area of high pressure that is brining us the cold weather this morning is drifting off to the east. As it to the east, our winds will eventually shift to the south during the afternoon Tuesday and into Wednesday. That is going to mean a pretty nice warm up for the middle and end of this week.

I know that place reasonably well, but I would always take a guide on a not-so-sunny day.

American-style iced tea is the perfect drink for a hot, sunny day. It's never really caught on in the UK, probably because the last time we had a hot, sunny day was back in 1957.
