Dear Madame Zoltar

Hello, my warming wits!  How are you?  It’s like someone threw a switch and now suddenly it’s hot.  Maybe soon there’ll be only two seasons: winter and summer. Or winterspring and summerfall.  Now I remember what it’s like to sit in traffic with a broken a/c as salty droplets form and fall from my forehead.  Still, I’ll take it compared to last January when it was 20 below zero.

It’s early in the season.  There’ll be many hot days over the next three months.  Let’s take them one day at a time.  And, if the hole in the ozone layer is 5 times previous estimates, it won’t matter anyway.  We’ll all be cooked or baked from the inside out.

Meanwhile, the weather on Earth is wacky.  There’s not much that we as individuals can do to stop the big polluters.  It’s all about the $.  It’s always about the $.

And I must admit that I benefit from much of the technology out there.  I use power that’s produced by coal.  So if it comes down to the environment versus Facebook, we all know that the environment will lose.

It’s cheaper for the major polluters to pay EPA fines than to meet their standards.  Oh my.

I see that our rash of robberies continues.  I’ll pray for Racine.  Anyone who knows anything about these crimes, please come forward with your knowledge.  You can do so anonymously. We have to “nip it, nip it in the bud.”  If we don’t get a handle on these crimes, the outside world’s “perception” of Racine may be negative.

Thank you all for stopping by here today.  I enjoy your company.  That goes for newcomers, too.

Know how to “nip it in the bud?” Ask: madamezoltar@jtirregulars.com

Enjoy summer activities while you can.  The weather is so changeable; it’s difficult to make plans.  I don’t think we need any more rain, but it looks like that’s what we’re going to get.  Still, that’s better than 20 degrees below zero.  Jobation!
