It's funny how the position for boot-licking is so close to the one used for curb-stomping.

It's spring again. Everybody knows it's spring again.

Great post, Roger. We've got spring here. It's still too cold for my liking but it's supposed to be 80* on Thursday!

Spring was here two weeks ago (40s, sunshine) then Mother Nature got a bug up her ass and hit us with snow, sleet, thunder and lightning. Now we're thawing again.

But by god, I'm looking forward to planting my mini-garden (as much as I can in a tiny ass apartment) and hitting the city sidewalk sale in a few weeks.

I spent the 90s in apartment buildings.  The one thing I noticed was that the people that had gardens on their patios/balconies seemed to be much happier than the people that didn't...Although I suspect the gardens are an effect, not a cause.

Believe it or not, gardening actually has some proven mood-lifting effects.

I am almost always happier when I'm gardening for at least an hour a day. I used to spend a lot of time in my garden... my ex hated it, he thought my priorities were all wrong. I haven't started my garden yet this year. I'm running late. I bet I'll start to feel happier as soon as I start it.

This may or may not be related, but I've noticed the people who have plants and such on their balconies/patios tend to be more likely to mind their own damn business.

It isn't warm enough here to put plants outside yet, still freezes overnight, but I'm excited anyway. I have shamrocks started and I was gonna check into the worthiness of those garden boxes for growing some veggies. Or one of those upside-down plants. Tomatoes never go to waste with me.

Ah, Spring! The season marked here by a rain-soaked carnage of worms and slugs on the pavement. The plums are blooming and heartbreak is in the air.

It's snowing outside right now, but somebody do me a favor and bump this is a month when weget spring here in Utah.  :lulz:

Over 13 inches the past 24 hours here and it's still hammering us.

On the first day spring break officially ended. My spiteful heart has been appeased.
We appear to be doomed by our DNA to repeat the same destructive behaviors our forebears have repeated for millenia. If anything our problem solving skills have actually diminished with the advent of technology & our ubiquitous modern conveniences. & yet despite our predisposition towards fear-driven hostility; towards what we anachronistically term primitive behavior another instinct is just as firmly encoded in our make-up. We are capable as our ancestors were of incredible breathtaking acts of kindness. Every hour of every day a man risks his life at a moments notice to save another. Forget for a moment the belligerent benevolent billionaires who grant the unfortunate a crumb of costfree cake. I speak of pure acts of selflessness. A Mother who rushes into the street to save a child from a speeding vehicle. A person who runs into a burning building to reach a family trapped on the upper story. Such actions,such moments,such unconscious selfless decisions,define what it is to be human

I did know that! I don't think you can grow up in Oregon without knowing it. I mean, the slugs here are as big as an electric car.

Our electric car went kaput.  We had to have it towed today, and after having it for ONE day...LESS than one day, actually...we now have a rental while they figure out what the FUCK is wrong with it.
