Although he was a qualified meteorologist, Hopkins ran up a terrible
record of forecasting for the TV news program. He became something of a
local joke when a newspaper began keeping a record of his predictions
and showed that he'd been wrong almost three hundred times in a single
year.
That kind of notoriety was enough to get him fired.
He moved to another part of the country and applied for a similar job.
One blank on the job application called for the reason for leaving his
previous position.
Hopkins wrote, "The climate didn't agree with me."
