April Showers

I guess April showers us with heat! It's supposed to be 85 degrees tomorrow, a new record for this time of year.

Can't say I've been sorry to see the nice warm weather, mostly bug-free. I get to sit on my deck without being slathered in bug spray or getting eaten by mosquitoes.

Here's a fun commentary from a great website by Sean Lindsay:

"So, now we’re on the second generation of kids who are getting a free pass through the school system while barely learning to read and write at a functional level. The frightening thing is that some of them still think they can be writers — while the saddening thing is that if the education system was designed to develop intelligent and capable citizens instead of consumers and soldiers, they could have been writers."
