Dear Madame Zoltar

Hello, my sparrows and robins!  How are you?  We received a real taste of warm weather over the Easter weekend, but now we’re back in the cooler.  “They” say the aftereffects of this past winter will last a long time.  We’ll probably have a cool spring.  Maybe even more snow.  A friend told me yesterday that up north there’s still snow on the ground.  Oh my.  Most of our early spring blooming plants can take some snow, but a hard frost will nip them.

The spring cleaning continues at home, both indoors and out.  I thank the Lord that I have Señor Zanza and Junior to do the heavy work outside.  If only the weather would cooperate.  One day it’s in the 60’s, the next, the 40’s.  And we’re cleaning part-time as I have my business to run, Junior has school, and Señor Zanza has what he calls his “enterprise” to tend to.

[You know, I still don’t know what the “enterprise” is or where it’s located, but Señor Zanza leaves home every workday for 8-10 hours.  I don’t know where he goes or what he does.  Of course, attempts to use my psychic powers on him are useless because of his powers.  He can’t read my mind, either.  We meet in shock when we’re both reading Junior’s mind.  That poor boy...]

Attention: I have a suggestion to make to the powers that be in downtown Racine.  I know that you have your First Fridays (and even some Third) and various other events and celebrations throughout the year.  However, your big one, Party On The Pavement, needs to be balanced by a Spring Fling early in the year.  Spring is the time of rebirth and the celebration would be conducive to a great crowd.  By the way, I think that’s the 3^rd or 4^th suggestion that I’ve given you. Wise up.

Another announcement I have to make is that I officially proclaim that I back both the medical and responsible recreational use of marijuana and/or its components.  I believe that it should be regulated in a manner similar to alcohol.  Taxed, too.  Unlike alcohol, I believe the tolerance level for users driving under the influence should be 0%.  With other states decriminalizing or legalizing marijuana, I don’t think it’ll be too long before researchers come up with a portable marijuana detector similar to a breathalyzer.  For the sake of honesty, I have to admit that some components of my own elixirs and potions may contain a small dose of cannabis, just like many other medications may contain alcohol as one of their components.  The dosage in my products is so small as to be undetectable.  If someone were to try to get “high” using my products, he or she would have to consume trainloads of products to get any effect.  I don’t think the effect would be pleasant.

Here’s a short, cute video to brighten your day:

Thank you my dear friends for visiting my blog today.  I love entertaining guests.  “You are a stranger but once here,” they say, but actually I get stranger every day.

Take care of yourselves my wonderful friends. After a hard fought winter, we have a hard won spring.  Enjoy it.  No matter what, at least it isn’t twenty degrees below zero.  Gallionic!
