...emotional British men wandering the stormy countryside). Weather is mood music that everybody hears, and this commonality is both its strength and its downfall. As a topic that is available to everyone, we tend to bring it up when there is absolutely no other common ground. On the other hand, when we're all experiencing the same gorgeous fall day, we're all starting from the same place.
