Every day there seems to be a new flower blooming in the front yard. The irises are getting ready to open. I saw my first goldfinch of the year two days ago, and a box turtle a day before that. Two of my neighbors buffalo just gave birth. (There's darned few people in New Jersey that can make a statement like that).
On the unfortunate side, we had our first car break-in and theft the other day. About this time of year, with the State Parks getting crowded, people come over from Pennsylvania to parks located near interstate routes looking for cars with valuables left on the front seats. The interstates make for a fast getaway. We identified the suspect, at least. I was almost involved in the first high-speed chase of my career, but some dumb yuppie got in between us, and she was on her GOD-DAMNED CELL PHONE AND COULDN'T BE BOTHERED NOTICING MY LIGHTS AND SIRENS BECAUSE SHE WAS ON HER GOD-DAMNED CELL PHONE AND WHEN A YUPPIE IS ON HER GOD-DAMNED CELL PHONE, NOTHING ELSE MATTERS, SO I LOST THE GUY, but I got the guys license plate number. This stuff will be going on all summer.
Sorry about that rant, I needed to vent my anger somewhere.
