If the city is offering daily readings of turbidy in the water, I wish it would take marginal more interest in the wind and offer some more accurate weather readings. It could be v sci-fi and useful if we had little weather stations on every street corner where you could find the precise details of your weather on this block.

Perhaps the stations could have small people inside them who you can call things into and based on how riveting you are they’d reply with a good joke or a bit of a song. And if you were not interesting or rude, perhaps you’d get a tickle or a tap from an arm that would poke out.
