Don't fly weather briefing

As part of my checkride for the private ticket, I had to get a briefing as if I was flying
XC to this little airfield in Florida. The weather down there was bad (heavy rain, 1/2 mi
visibility) and the briefer kept saying "you can't fly down there." It took me three or
four minutes to get it through his head that I wasn't _actually_ going to fly there, I
only needed to get the briefing as part of showing the examiner I knew how to plan such
things.

I wonder what they would have said about our flying Sunday afternoon? We went to a little
fly-in at a private strip about 10 min away. Coming back, we had to stop for gas, and
there were various little scattered popcorn showers all around the area. We dodged around
a couple of them coming home.
