Yes, as of 1:14 AM EDT, spring has officially sprung. And for the first time in a long, long, time, it actually feels very spring-like. Actually, it feels more like summer, with the temperature supposed to be around 80 for a few days. Yesterday we even had thunderstorms late in the day. And I’ve been pulling ticks off the dogs at an alarming rate. I used to use Frontline ‘cuz it’s supposed to take care of ticks. But it didn’t seem to be killing the fleas, so I switched to Advantage (we have cats, so I’m leery of using K9 Advantix). But with all the ticks, I decided to order some Fiprogard (which is generic Frontline). Hope it works.

In much less interesting news, there’s a big old primary thingie in Illinois, where Mitt Romney is poised to whip Rick Santorum into a frothy mixture of, well, you know. Rick is getting pretty darn nasty to Mitt, and Mitt is saying mean things about Barack (did you know Obama is slowing down this whole economic recovery?). I try not to listen to them all, but NPR insists on shoving it down my throat on my way into work.

Oh well, time to get back to doing whatever it is I should be doing.
