Not quite out here yet but one of the biggest Yoshino cherry trees in Vancouver (or anyplace) is on the street in front of my place and its buds are almost open. -

The first blooms on the Magnolia kobus in the courtyard here opened yesterday. Still only a few open. May be a few days before enough are open to perfume the courtyard. -

I can enjoy many types of weather, and the weenie-mode meltdowns from Jesse are like the cherry atop the sundae for spring warm spells. -

Only 54˚F here. Thin overcast may rob me of my 60-burger today. -

I remember one winter in the mountains of New Mexico where there was no snowfall over 3" the whole winter long… until May 2nd, when 8+" fell. -

Environment Canada says MBY should be blessed with a 70-burger on Saturday. Even before that warmth hits, the buds are already starting to open. -

NM has one of the highest poverty rates of all US states. Lots of run down areas. -

In Vancouver, the flickers have learned that the standard street light design the city uses is hollow inside with a thin stamped sheet-metal cover that resonates excellently. You almost never see flickers drumming on trees here. It is almost always streetlight covers and occasionally downspouts or stovepipes. -

Has Tim ever done that? Merely mentioning a trip to Hawaii doesn’t count. People would wonder about his mysterious absence here if he didn’t do that. -

I can confirm based on personal experience that the night skies are exceptional in that area. -

I had been planning to go to Texas to see the eclipse, but various aspects of chaos intervened. At least I got to see the total eclipse in 2017. With friends, in a remote area, in a five-acre meadow we had all to ourselves. -

What happened to your cousin was terrible, but it is still an anecdote and not data. “Statistics be damned” summarizes a lot of US politics, alas.

I prefer to consider the overall message of the New Testament as a whole, which is that loving your neighbor and treating people with respect is more important than following the letter of this or that bit of religious dogma passed on down via the clerical authorities of the day.

Yes, yes: I know. Observable facts (or lack thereof) don’t matter so much when feelings are involved.

A sunny 53.4˚F for a high this afternoon. Great weather for moving. Moving that has been complicated by someone parking in my reserved parking spot (deeded with the unit) at my Bellingham condo. Today I found out who it was. And they were rather upset that I had parked in a way so as to box them in, and even more upset when I did not show much interest in moving my vehicle so they could get to work on time. Which I all find extremely odd — clearly someone who parks on other peoples’ private property should understand to the concept of parking thoughtlessly, shouldn’t they? Apparently not. (I let them out… eventually. Waited for the cell call to their boss explaining that they might not make it into work to be made first.)
