A nice winter day.....

It’s just durn near perfect, s’what it is, for a winters day anyway.....the sun is shining thru a layer of thin clouds, just the slightest of hint of a breeze (a good thing cuz if there wuz any more of a breeze, it’d be cold)....my neighbor up the street posted a foto of a Spring bloom....well, a hint of Spring ‘n come to think on it, Spring ain’t all that far away here in Ol Fair Oaks....another month, give or take a day or so.....down the street ‘n around the park...chickens ‘n kidz ‘n dogs....people sitting outside enjoying the sunshine...this little old village of Ol Fair Oaks has three sidewalk bistro-type enterprises but I noticed this morning that several other bizness’ have people sitting outside sipping ‘n enjoying the sunshine....
The ‘Bird with the broken wing’ is off to lunch ‘n I hadda go to Point West to pick up a new prescription for her (our co-pay has tripled in this new year but that’s another story)....nice drive, traffic (relatively) light, lot of people walking, biking ‘n two top-down, just can’t wait for summer types.....we had a convertible when we came to California back in our way back when time....I put the top down in February ‘n left it down ‘til June when it got so hot I had to put it back up for the shade.....I ain’t saying that winter is over t’day.....it ain’t...Heck, it ain’t even mid-January yet ‘n we got a lot of rain to get thru but a break is nice, don’cha think?.......
So, I heard someone (on some teevee show or other) say that there was snow in 49 of the 50 States ‘n that it ‘uz just another sign of ‘global warming’....boy, talk about a dead horse or a dog with a bone....don’t seem to matter what the weather is, coldest winter on record, ice-breaker ship frozen in the northern ice, don’t matter....it all signals that American greed ‘n over consumption is destroying the planet....
Y’know, I’m tired of the ‘collective guilt trip’ that so much of the media seem enthralled with....I don’t believe in collective guilt, when the time comes for me t’pay for my sins, I’ll pay becuz, well....becuz my belief system sez that ever’body has to carry their own damn load of whatever seeds they’ve sown ‘n nobody else can carry them for you....but I’m telling you straight up....I ain’t gonna carry your load....
