From My Mind to....

Longer Days Now

I know there's a name for the intense winds that are currently blowing across the country ... but it escapes me at the moment. What hasn't escaped me is the fact that yesterday at 9am, the temperature in south-central Missouri was 68 degrees. At 9am today is was 15 degrees with a wind chill of -1.

C'mon, Mother Nature, that's a real shock to these old bones. And yes, I know the weather in general is 'shocking' other parts of the country too. I'm not sure which area can claim the worst weather. And how do you determine 'worst?' Property damage, power outages, curtailment of services, loss of life?

Right now, I'll take this wind. It hasn't been as bad as select areas across the country. Sorry, I can't speak to other parts of the world, and I'm sorry if the weather is hitting you negatively.

Climate change! Yes, I believe it's happening and we are causing it. 'Nuff said on my part.

It's looking like March isn't the only month going out like a lion. At least the days are getting longer. Spring is coming.
