things that are impossible to do in culatello weather.

 * Walk a dog and still be able to see it.
* Run on the sidewalks without swerving into oncoming street poles.
* Drive with one headlight.
* Trust anyone to drive.
* Expect your hair to stay straight. 
*  Not have your make-up drip off your wet face.
* Not have your hair stick to your head from the wet air's humidity.
* To be able to see without squinting to see a meter in front of you.
* Ride along the river's dyke path.
* Be warm with 37 layers on while riding your bike to work.
* Feel like you're not in a horror movie.
* To think about anything except culatello.
* To think that, after everything we've learned, it's pretty cool that this is what they talk about when they mean terroir - it's the fog that gives prosciutto and culatello it's parma status.
* Wonder why you're not in sunny Sicily...
