Ah, I see the ground is covered with white stuff this morning. Must be April in Syracuse. The snow’s not supposed to stick around, though. They say a high of 50 today, and, since tomorrow is Monday, it’s supposed to be in the 70s. Yesterday was pretty chilly as I was out trying to get some fencing done and eventually got caught in a downpour. Now I’ve got a bit of a cough and a sore throat (plus I’m kind of sore from all the bending and pounding and stuff).

What with all the “threats” from North Korea, you folks on the West Coast have been getting all the attention lately. Not for long, though, as our esteemed Republican legislators have decided that Iran is now (or soon will be) a threat to hit the East Coast. Although the DOD doesn’t think it’s necessary, they’re pushing to spend $3.6 billion to build a missile defense system east of the Mississippi. This is what’s known as being fiscally conservative, I guess.

Well, what the hell. We could use the jobs.
