It’s a balmy 20° out there this morning, and they say it’s going to get up to 37 today. That, of course, means we’re going to get punished: snow this morning, and sleet/freezing rain to end the work day. Should be nice. Tomorrow is supposed to be in the mid-forties, and Wednesday the mid-fifties. Then things gradually return to normal. Still it’ll be nice to get the driveway cleared of snow (somebody’s been a little lax in plowing; I blame it on the high cost of diesel).

I hear that a group of eight “bipartisan” Senators have come up with a plan for immigration reform. They’re supposed to announce the details today that will include the vaunted “path to citizenship.” That’s nice, and hopefully it’ll all work out. I just hope it doesn’t turn out to be something along the lines of how Germans treats the Turks – cheap labor and less than second-class non-citizenship. Still, if it keeps the price of grapes, lettuce, and apples cheap, I’m all for it.

After that, let’s legalize dope everywhere.

But first, it’s time to get ready for work. It’s really such a godawful waste of time. If I was working from home today, I’d already be at my virtual desk. As it is, I won’t get in until 6:30 or so. Maybe later if the weather sucks. I see by the radar that the morning snow is almost upon us.
