Pop confronts the thermometer, Tuesday morning.

The porch thermometer read 9°C at 6:15 Tuesday morning. Pop does not accept this.

“It's six, tops,” he said, tapping the glass, which did not change the reading. The thermometer was installed in 1988 and has, by Pop's account, “never once been right.”

Pop has used it every day for thirty-eight years.

Pop's own forecast for the week: “It'll rain.”
