Red Lantern
Cindy Gallea (73) came in 70th at 9:46PM CDT last night, and Mary Helwig (49) brought in the Red Lantern at 9 minutes to midnight AKDT or 2:51AM CDT this morning. Mary brought Spring with her, but the ITC was too busy counting the proceeds to notice.
Mary averaged 3.00 MPH for the race finishing in 13 days, 8 hours, 51 minutes & 30 seconds.

Vernal Equinox
It’s that time of year. Spring arrived at 11:30PM CDT last night, so this is the first full day. You can watch it come at Archæoastronomy.
The air is already filled with pollen and the live oaks are dropping last year’s leaves. The azaleas are peaking and the pear trees are snowy with blooms.
I would note that locally we have had 12 hours or more of daylight since St. Patrick’s Day, and usually do.
