That book was 100% accurate for upwards of 35 years---in my dads eyes anyway. Us kids called it dads comic book ....behind his back. In those days you did not disagree with dads, rather point out it was 100% wrong. If it said wet summer and we were dry----yea but those Dakodaaaas are wet, was his reply. Seems stupid to even read it as far as I'm concerened.

As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad.
