Are you protected from disability risk?
Like many people, you may try to stay healthy by exercising regularly, following a good diet and avoiding dangerous activities. But as we all know, life is unpredictable, and despite your best efforts, you may encounter an injury or illness that can leave you unable to work for several months — or longer. If this happened, would you have difficulty paying your bills? Or would you be forced to dip into investments meant to help you achieve long-term goals, such as a comfortable retirement?
Sr. Cub Center Chats with Pat Curtis
Well, it appears that the dart-throwing has begun. The weather predictors seem to use that ancient tradition of tossing darts at a chart to determine our temperatures and moisture possibilities for each day. They don’t actually do that, but to non-meteorologists like the majority of us, it does seem a possibility! The crazy dips and turns of jet streams can really upset our weather patterns. El Nino or La Nina are terms we hear quite often to describe our dry or rainy weather. Squall lines bring to mind a row of crying babies and anvil clouds make us think of extremely heavy clouds capable of fashioning metal swords or such. Maybe our schools need to have a mandatory class devoted to the teaching of weather terms so our kids will have the ability to translate the weatherman’s forecast to us in simpler terms. Highs and Lows we do understand if related to temperaments, but weathermen are talking temperatures. Confusion reigns supreme!
