Old Folks Wisdom

 Can anyone tell me what this is?

Anyone? No? Ok I´ll tell you. It´s an old school air pressure meter. When it rains (i.e. when it´s low air pressure) the twig points downwards. Come sunshine and what? Low and behold, it´s pointing upwards (i.e. it´s high air pressure).


 How about that? Old folks have more wisdom that we think. Don´t you think?

    Kätevän ja pätevän tuntuinen.

    1. First time I ever saw this. It´s at my fathers summer cabin. He probably learned it from his father.
