Weather Insurance

If you want to climb somewhere and you don’t want your trip to be ruined because it rains, for example, here’s an online service that sells weather insurance. I plugged in a 5 day period in June in the Black Hills, and specified that I wanted to be paid $100 for each day it rained more than .5 inch, for a total payment of $500. Insurance for that is $34.

what an interesting idea. With $100 you could rent a hotel room to sleep the day away,or go to a movie or buy enough booze to console yourself and a couple of friends.

Lisa, either you have very expensive taste, or an extremely high alcohol tolerance!!!!

That's funny, because a first I wrote "a whole bunch of friends" but I changed it to a couple of friends lest I be accused of buying cheap booze!! I can't win! But I was thinking of you guys.
