David Rind’s legacy is not only that he did great science, that he is an intellectual mentor for an impressive number of very successful scientists, but that he is an inspirational role model of how to be scientist. He grew up in the shadow of Yankee Stadium, and being a devoted Yankees fan, I believe that he first observed an atmospheric breaking wave over those hallow grounds. I always wondered if this vision over Yankee Stadium inspired him to be such a preeminent atmospheric scientist. Before spending some time discussing some of his research examining how changes in climate could impact water resources, I first want to present what I will call David Rind’s Words of Wisdom (at least as I remember): (1) ‘Hit it with a sledge hammer’, (2) ‘Nobody complains when they get an “A”’, (3) ‘No one looks very smart when you argue with an idiot’, and (4) ‘I would pay someone to clean out my desk’.
