    22 days below average highs for April around here. We have also experienced more extreme winds every month since September.

    This is wearing thin. I'd be depressed if I wasn't an optimist.

    It was 84 here again today and we just had a storm with high winds and rain roll in.

    Has being an optimist helped? Asking for a friend.

    I just want to see 50. A light wind would be nice.

    Well, since I'm not depressed I'd have to say it has helped. But only a little bit.

    Not really a rant. Britney finishes college this Friday. She gets married in August. Doesn't seem that long ago she was just a tiny bopper. I really miss those days. My granddaughter graduates high school and starts her first year of college this fall. Where did time go ??

    Vitamins and minerals were bothering my stomach so dumby that I am I took a break from them.
    Well today was a full woods work day and I not only forgot to eat, I forgot to drink as well.
    SOB!!!!!!!! It's been two years with no cramps to speak of. I've been tore up all night! Both legs up into hips , across back, both hands. Took vitamins and downing electrolytes since I first felt them coming on. Yep add stomach to the list.
    Don't forget to drink when out and about..so, so important. Going to get out one of the fanny packs and start packing water each day....only begged God to kill me a few,l time's ...so far...geez!

    Some of these idiotic school districts dropping advanced placement courses in order to provide "equity for all students" is about the dumbest thing I have ever heard.

    Imagine if the US invested in the upper 50% rather than the lower.

    I wish they could do a study of who actually go into those school advanced courses. I'd like to know how many kids are from conservative families and how many are from liberal families.
    Now we were a country school but our class had a good make up of lets say skin shades. Those of us in the advanced class and honours classes were from more conservative families of various skin shades . Some were liberals ,that said, real liberals not socialists.
    You know we were encouraged to reason out problems, to think. CAN'T have THAT anymore. HOW embarrassing for college professors when the students coming up are more intelligent than them.

    That is the plan. It is easier for the government to control dumb people.

    We had a real idiotic group of lawmakers here in VA from 2019 to 2021. They openly said they thought cops were profiling people and stopping them so they took away a bunch of auto laws they deemed racist, one of which is loud exhaust. So now we have cars driving around and it sounds like a gun battle every other minute. Good job stupid Dems.

    It snowed last night and stuck then snowed on and of all day high of 35.
    Really not too ranty because....I asked for it and well the birds just showed up yesterday and were back tonight. Which means they were delayed enough to keep them from their spring roost until now. Season opens Sunday Friday morning I will be going out to watch their morning fly down and movement before Sundays hunt.
    I'll have guys lined up along my property line. So I'll need to get as close as possible without spooking them.

    Woke up today, 42 degrees and sunny with a light breeze. Go to office. Get out of work a bit early- it's cloudy, wind was blowing, and it was 36.
    So much for cleaning the gutters and mowing the lawn.

    F-U, Phil.

    Lol ...given the chance...hmmmm. He does get things wrong most of the time, plus hiding in his little hole in the ground sleeping. When not he's out digging holes where they shouldn't be and causing problems wherever he goes.
