Hello, my spring robins!
How are you? Slowly, but surely,
we are approaching warmer temperatures.
Too slowly, unfortunately. Maybe
this will be one of those cold springs.
Everything is topsy-turvy in the weather these days. Who knows?
You don’t have to be a psychic to predict the results of
yesterday’s referendums to give the city a 5% levy every year and to fund
Gateway’s expansion. Both will be
“No.” For some inexplicable reason,
politicians don’t understand that we have no more money for them to waste. If we say no, then they borrow in our name
and saddle us with more debt for decades.
Not much can be done, though, as long as voters elect the same old bums. I sometimes think that if I can’t beat them,
I might as well join them. I try hard to
be a crook, but I never succeed.
The stigma has been removed from criminals. When I was young, having a child out of
wedlock was a shameful thing. Today,
it’s almost the norm. The same thing has
happened with crime. Indeed, in some
neighborhoods, criminals are admired as successes. It’s like Bizarro World.
This Friday, April 5, is Downtown Racine’s first First
Friday of the season: http://www.racinedowntown.com/firstfridays.html I hear that they can get 2,000, or more,
visitors on a First Friday. Where do
they park all those cars?
For those of us who hate robocalls and telemarketers,
there’s good news: “2 Deterrents to Robocalls Win Contest by F.T.C.,” http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/03/technology/two-deterrents-to-robocalls-win-ftc-contest.html
Some enterprising people came up with devices to block and stop the annoying
calls. Unfortunately, they say
production is months away. Until then, I
will continue to put hexes on the callers.
To the right is a picture of me when I first started out as
a psychic. Not too bad, eh?
Finally, China
is announcing more bird flu cases. Oh
my. Our world is so interconnected that
it won’t take long for the flu to spread.
Start wearing your surgical mask now and avoid the rush.
Thank you, my dears, for reading my blog today. I appreciate your visits more than you
know. We are family.

On the plus side of the cooler weather, listening to the radio yesterday (or the day before) Maple trees like the cooler weather and the Maple Syrup Gurus are predicting a good “crop” (?) this year. Last year we went from cold to warm and the tree quit give up their precious sap.
2012 prices per gallon ranged from $35 to $50. Hopefully this year it will come down.
You WERE so thin and lovely, Madame !
So were you.
