One night walking back on campus I passed the Art Department and saw a huge tree decorated with the most unlikely items on Earth. Today while shopping at Wegmans I stopped at the rest room opened the stall and there he was. Rodin's 'The Thinker'was sitting on the toilet. Surprise is the spice of life. All the familiar strangers here are capable of surprise but seem more reserved than needed. May surprises brings June's crises.
Let us know if any of you have been surprised lately.

One of my close friends, who has been through the ordeal of med school,
finally passed her board exams (second try) so now she can graduate with the rest of her class this spring. So relieved!

Spring is almost here and Daylight Savings Time (I hate that time change) starts this weekend. We could still end up with weather cold enough to shock the blossoms and blooms that are appearing everywhere, so right now we need to be watching and waiting to see when the soil is truly warm enough to plant the tomatoes.

In the short term, drought leads to farm bankruptcies, Donuel. Long-term drought leads to wildfire.

Of the two, I’d rather have neither.

No snow here but plenty of rain. Drought is easier to cope with than flood like what happened in B.C. last year.

Get well, Mrrzy! I needed all of December to recover from COVID. The version you describe sounds like what I had — a messy head-cold that just won’t go the fuck away, plus tiredness and achy joints. Christmas with no sense of taste or smell was not very joyous, but I’m now back to normal (whatever that is). I hope you’re as fortunate.

words on the front GET WELL SOON/ words inside YOU'LL FEEL BETTER.

Hoping your crappy cold is not as bad as my worse-sore-throat-ever in Sept, when my entire diet for 2 days were painful sips of water & slurping on very mild sugary menthol lozenges!

Most people here are pretending that Covid is gone but its not, its only more infectious but just as deadly. Sometimes I think that Covid was not sufficiently deadly so people acted in strange ways from the politically bizarre to the deadly denialism. However strange it has been a bad rehearsal for the next worse pandemic should it occur.

keb, I think a lot of us feel like, "well I'm not 'worldwide', who wants to hear from me'. But, we do, and I wish all the people in 'ordinary' spots would check in and tell us how it's going.

Doing well in the SW of the US, a place called Yuma, Arizona, where they grow all the romaine lettuce and lots of other salad-y things, and used to mine gold and things from the desert in days gone by. A refuge from colder climes, though the desert wind and dust storms can be fierce. But right now, a nice almost-perfect winter climate, where northern Yanks and Canadians can hide out til spring. Lucky and/or blessed to be able to do so.
