Vernal Equinox
It’s that time of year. Spring arrives at 7:07PM CDT tonight. You can watch it come at Archæoastronomy.
The air is already filled with pollen and the live oaks are starting to drop last year’s leaves.

"Все счастливые семьи похожи друг на друга, каждая несчастливая семья несчастлива по-своему."
"Кто что ни говори, а подобные происшествия бывают на свете, - редко, но бывают."
"A person who has a cat by the tail knows a whole lot more about cats than someone who has just read about them."
Mark Twain
"There are two novels that can change a bookish 14-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."
"The presence of those seeking the truth is infinitely to be preferred to the presence of those who think they've found it."

Hey, in my neck of the woods the snow is just beginning to melt….
Don’t count on not getting more snow. When I lived in upstate New York we had snow in June.
Naw. Spring arrived on Monday, when I saw the first robins of the season. And at least according to the university’s meteorologist, it’s likely to come in like a lion this year. He’s calling for thunderstorms and heavy rain tonight, and another dose on Thursday.
The sun knows it’s Spring, but the earth needs a a while to catch up.
