The sun is up, and it is shining brightly. I looked at areas of my lawn that I mowed on Sunday, and I could mow them again. These are areas D.O.T. ditched and have water lying in the bottom of. Not only are these areas growing grass as fast as it can be mowed, but also they are growing an exceptionally good crop of mosquitoes. If government is concerned about mosquito borne disease that should send up all kinds of red flags about West Nile Virus, etc. Maybe those ditches should not be as deep as they are where there is a probability of water standing in them. This is just a thought from a biologist that lived and worked in a swampy state a little south of here (Louisiana).
The weather maps that I consulted are showing a mostly clear day, with some clouds later this afternoon. The weather stick currently points down, and we all know that is normal, signifying nothing. The Min/Max Thermometer and Weather Station Console both indicate continued improving conditions with sun, and the remote weather station still calls for clouds or unsettled conditions. Maybe it will catch up with the others later.
