The Guinness Beer displays for St. Patricks? No. The stuffed Rabbits and Chicks for Easter? No. The Return of Daylight's Savings Time on the horizon? No. The Matzo displays for Passover? No.

Yes, they're at every supermarket. I got a box of the mints today. Ah, G.S. Cookies. A true rite of spring.

Oh! I was thinking it was how you shed the Winter coat of fur on your back and face. But cookies is another good sign.

USGS enters the weather porn business with ARkStorm

by Anthony Watts

It used to be enough to push worry about El Niño in the news, now the USGS takes it to whole new level. I don’t dispute the historical evidence of the 1861/62 flooding, but scaring the crap out of the public won’t really help them plan effectively.

I'll have four boxes of Caramel deLites, four Thin Mints, four Peanut Butter Patties...

BTW: on the other side of the road from my house is a huge tree. The evening sun last night showed it had a tinge of green about it. That and I've got some daffodils out. . .
