Why I Hate the Weather and It Hates Me Back

This weekend I went 4.5 hours out of my way to go to my lake cabin on the first cold and rainy weekend of the summer. With all of the advances in technology I always wondered two things - why have video cell phones (where you can live chat with the person you are talking to, like Skype) NOT been invented or popularized yet, and why have we not figured out a way to control the weather? I think the world, (or just the U.S.A. - lets be serious, I don't care about other countries) should invest in a big umbrella and tanning light so it would only rain in April and it would always be warm in Summer. I would be willing to donate a dollar and this button I found in my car for the cause.
