[Leah] We are enjoying
another beautiful day here in Conway,
Official YIFY movies site: YTS.MX
and it will continue on into Friday night,
seeing as the slight risk of rain
has blown off from the east,
paving the way for lots of sunshine
over the next few days.
So, whatever your plans are,
if it's spending the day with your family,
or with that special someone,
you'll be sure to have plenty of clear skies.
Back to you, Bob!
And...
we're out!
Thanks.
Ahem.
Hey! Chris?
Great forecast.
I wish I could have predicted that much sunshine.
Uh, listen, I was thinking,
that maybe I could help with the weather tracking?
Put together some reports?
I know that you are the network meteorologist,
but, uh, I'd be happy to help.
Thank you, Leah,
but predicting the weather is a tricky science,
one we've got to get right.
So, we just need you
to use that great on-air energy that we hired you for
to tell our viewers
if they'll need an umbrella or not, all-righty?
Of course. Sunscreen or umbrellas.
Oh!
Maybe you could drop by the radar
and have a look at the data,
and then report back to me via text?
That'd be super-helpful.
You got it.
Hey! Nolan, have you thought about where we might go tonight?
Uh, actually, Leah, I'm really sorry,
but Carson just got this great last-minute deal to Vegas,
and it's kind of something I've always wanted to do,
so, maybe you and I, we could go out another time, right?
Yeah! Yes.
It's Vegas.
Cool. Okay, well, um...
I gotta jet, so...
Yeah.
- Okay. - Yeah, totally.
Cool.
Hey. Vegas, baby!

Looks like we didn't get it right this time.
Oh!
You know, some may argue it's a little unhealthy

Well, thanks for the concern,
but I'm actually checking the weather.
The weather?
On your weather app?
Uh, no, not on my weather app.
On that.
It's a radar tower. It helps predict the weather.
Well, when you got all this, you don't really need that.

so that we can use this rain for good.
That way, we can help everyone learn about climate
and preservation.
How do you get something like that going?
Do we petition for it?
Actually, that's exactly what we should do.
And we could get an anemometer in one of the parks.
Anem-what?
Um, it measures wind speed.
We can also set up a weather station for the kids,
and they can learn about weather systems,
and pressure, and climate.
I mean, what do you think?

It sounds great.

you're gonna have to stay in the city longer,

Thanks. How are you so sure it's gonna rain again?
Look up.
See the birds flying?
[Leah] Mm. Of course.
That's your forecast.
You see, birds will fly high during good weather,
so you barely see them,
but if there's disruptive air pressures,
they fly low to avoid it,
like when rain or a storm's coming.
Where did you learn that?
My grandpa.
Taught me a lot, actually.
Like about ants.
You don't pay them much attention,
but if you did,
you'd notice that they build their anthills
higher and steeper
when rain's coming.
Well, that's great,
but if all it took
were birds and bugs to predict the forecast,
well, then I wouldn't need my new degree.

Nope. This time, all you gotta do is listen.

The wind?
And, of course, crickets.
When I was kid,
my grandpa was always the last
to go out and check on the cows at night,
and, of course, I always wanted to go with him,
but I'd have to be up early the next day,
so, before he went out,
he'd ask me if he needed his jacket or not.
He taught me to listen to the sound of the crickets
and count the number of chirps in 14 seconds,
and then add 40 to get the temperature.
So I'd listen and count,
and it was like counting sheep,
so I'd get sleepy before bed.

He was.

Amazing. We haven't even been neighbors that long,

Well, not everything.

When do you come here?
Actually, this is
the first time I've been out here in a while.
I figured if I wanted to give the whole city thing a chance,
then I came out here, well,
it'd be easy to fall back into my old ways.
Does that make sense?
It does.
I guess it's kind of like
if I decided to go on a date,
you know, I might get sidetracked
or lose focus.
Which could happen, if it was a good date.
Does that make sense?
Yeah.
Yeah, it does.

You know cows can help you predict the weather, too?
Really?
Yeah. See how they're all moving around?
Yeah?
Because the rain's coming again.
Well, rain is better than drought, I guess.
Actually, too much rain can be just as bad for farming
as not enough.
Rots the vegetables on the vine,
drowns the roots,
and makes it harder to harvest.
Even make it harder for these old girls to graze,
so too much rain can't be good
for anyone who makes their living off the land.
I bet.
It's Mother Nature's way of reminding us
to respect what she provides,
because if we don't,
times like these will only get worse.
Hmm.
Huh. Guess the cows were right.

This boy
had every single worker out in that field,

That's amazing.

Well, not so much since we lost our pitcher.

Because if I had...
then I would have seen that the one I should be with,
the one that enhances
everything I wanted to accomplish this year,
was right next door.
And now I'm...
afraid that I'm too late,
that the decision I made
to focus on me and put my walls up, well...
that it caused me to lose more than just a friendship.
