Blame the thermometer

The AP brings us a story out of Milwaukee about a group that wants to move the city's official thermometer from the airport to somewhere more inland. Their reason for doing this is that they believe that moving the thermometer away from the lake will lead to warmer average temperatures for the city and thus a better image amongst tourists and those who might consider moving here. I think they may be on to something. If they move the official thermometer south and west of its current site, they may be onto something. I'm thinking Las Vegas for the new site will work nicely.
