Hello, my March madness mavens. How are you? It’s tank top and shorts weather here. March 7th, in Wisconsin, in the 70’s. Ho-hum, just another day for us. The daffodils are beginning to show in the backyard. The frost is out of the ground. Grass is greening up everywhere. Soon, we’ll be complaining about the mosquitoes . . .I wouldn’t get too comfortable with the weather yet. I have a lingering sense that a whopper winter storm or two are still due us this season. It’s weather dread, and it colors all that I do. I’m still waiting for the other snowshoe to drop.
The news, as usual of late, is all bad. I’m not even going to try to find something positive there. I think one has to take whatever satisfaction one can out of the little successes in life. If I keep my perspective to that of family and friends, I can endure. Once I start looking elsewhere, I get lost in the miasma of current events and poisonous politics. A few shots of the right hooch don’t hurt, either. Oh my.
With the warming weather come twin dangers to motorists: bicycles and motorcycles. It’s early, but I’ve seen a few. Keep your eyes and ears open while driving. Also keep them open for the increased law enforcement actions that Mr. SER mentioned in another blog: “Drunken driving, seat belt crackdown in effect through March 21:” http://www.journaltimes.com/news/local/drunken-driving-seat-belt-crackdown-in-effect-through-march/article_99b2484c-6716-11e1-9800-0019bb2963f4.html
Nothing associated with the word “crack” is good. Don't drink and drive.
Don’t forget, my dears, that Daylight Saving Time begins this Sunday, March 11, at 2:00 AM. Turn your clocks ahead one hour when you go to bed on Saturday. (“Spring forward, fall back.”) We lose an hour of sleep, but gain so much light in the evenings. Even DST seems earlier this year.
Thank you so much for reading my blog this week. Thank you, thank you, thank you. And no, thank you. I so enjoy the regulars and Irregularites who stop by to visit. I want to hug each and every one of you, but that will have to wait for the next JTI gathering. Spring sounds good to me.
When will the bluebird of happiness drop a load of good fortune on you? Find out: madamezoltar@jtirregulars.com.
“They” say it will get colder again for a couple or days, but then the weekend will be warming up. Hmm, snowboard or skateboard? Wisconsin keeps it interesting. (Maybe I’ll parasail to clients.) Watch where you’re going. It’s muddy out there. A splash can ruin your day. I love you, my dears. Buccinator!

The "right hooch"? Is your total right wing bias showing? What about us liberals, huh? What about our hooch! Or are only conservatives good enough to dring your special hooch?
Oh, wait. You meant right as in "correct"....Nevermind
(with apologies to Emily Litella)
I miss Gilda's humor.
Madame, be careful with the hooching. It doesn't mix well with your daily "tonics."
Thank you so much for your exquisitely written blogs. I look forward to and love reading them.
With regard to the political smack that we are bombarded with...is there no limit, no right or wrong, no morals left by anyone? Wouldn't you say that interfering with detente (even in light of a pending election year) is very close to mutiny or criminal behavior?
Pretty much... they can all kiss my buccinator!
It's a wonderful Wednesday even though it's a little breezy out there....
Thanks, Mme. Z, for the heads up about Daylight Saving Time. Even though I like the "added" daylight, I'll be grumpy for a week while my circadian rhythms adjust to the hour's loss.
