Sunday, 4:30 pm: Our weather has done a complete turn-around; it’s sunny, warm and snow is melting everywhere. It’s melted enough that our snow depth, at our snow stake, is down to 36 inches [91.4 cm]. Yes that’s right it is down to 36 inches.

We saw two coyotes walking through the field which is diagonally across from our house. They politely ignored me when I went out to get a closer look with our binoculars. And the past week our Snow Buntings have returned to our birdfeeder. My wife assures me it is really spring, or at least it has started.

Yesterday we drove to Caribou and Presque Isle. The roads were great; no slick spots and no white-outs. Being the true gourmand, I imagine to be [yeah right!], we ate at a fast food hamburger place for some fine American haute cuisine. True to my whims yesterday, I smothered almost everything in ketchup. My palate is ruined for the next few weeks. I need something that’s not deep-fired to regain my mirco-sensibilities, such as they are.

Friedrich Nietzsche wrote in Unzeitgemässe Betrachtungen about political incorrectness; now I just need to write something controversial to bump it up a notch. I will keep you posted. As for today I am, sadly, and inexcusably politically correct through no fault of my own. Sorry Freidrich: I really like to tweak people’s noses, but I am at a loss the afternoon.
