climate

The Wall Street Journal's reporters are amazing. Last time we wrote about their use of 'steamer trunk' as a measure of volume - written apparently by a female reporter aged about 93 with memories of packing luggage for steamship voyages?

This morning a Neil Sands under the dateline Melbourne Australia in a report on drug wars in Melbourne refers to it as a city with "an appealing climate." (WSJ 2010-08-14 pA7)

Just who it might appeal to he doesn't say.  

Haitians perhaps? Or Siberians? Saudis maybe. Patagonians?
