What's more current than the weather?

Yesterday when I left to go to DR. was 23º. This morning was 59º on way to 70º. Folks wonder why they're sick. Chance Freezing Rain Monday nite and Tuesday. Fucking hell.

That's why they invented Mud & Snow tires, buster.

OK, I want a resounding "Poooor Baaaby" for this post...

We are still in late February.
There have been 2 consecutive weeks of brilliant sunshine,
warm temps, and mild breezes here in the PDX area.

The camellias are blooming and trees are budding out.
Our grass has been growing for the past week.
All this doesn't happen around here until late March or April.
We can, and probably will, have more snow/freezing temps/etc

The grass needs mowing.
My lawnmower is empty of fuel and put up for the winter.
I've misplaced my red plastic gas can.
I'm feeling incredibly lazy.

But since we are going out of town tomorrow, I've got to do it today.
... go buy new gas can, get gas, get mower started *,
mow the lawn, drain the tank, put the mower away again.

*and in all likelihood I'll have to overhaul the carburetor in the process.

Bah humbug.

That day I was feeling incredibly lazy, and we went out of town.

And then there was a day of cloudy, sprinkling, weather, so the grass
was "obviously too wet to mow".

Today, the sun is up and about, it's going to be a warm, cloud-less,
and slightly breezy day, the damn grass still needs mowing,
and again I'm feeling incredibly lazy.

Are you fed up with this nasty winter? Better get used to it, there may be ten more.

I guess we'd better throw another dinosaur on the fire.
