Okay, that’s enough winter already.
Bring on Springtime.
And let’s not bother with all that technical stuff like the fact that the first day of spring will be March 20.
As far as we’re concerned, let’s just waive the rules and start it. . .oh, say. . .now!
GOOD MORNING: I finally worked up enough nerve shortly after noon Monday to venture out of my burrow for the first time since packing it in and pulling the hole in behind me Friday evening. It was real dicey making my way down the hill from the house to Terrell Lane and thence out to NC 561 even though my ol’ buddy, Harold (Waterbed) Wood, had come over Sunday afternoon and scraped the path from my house down to the roadway.
I guess you could call it an evil smile.
There is always a little Mona Lisa smile I can muster when I see a sport utility vehicle spun out on the side of the road.
Now, understand, I don’t wish harm or injury on anyone, however, when it’s someone who has decided to drive too fast for the conditions, well, a spun-out SUV serves as the perfect reminder.

Dear Editor,
Obama’s State of the Union message was typical of all his speeches — he speaks as if he is the only person there with his never ending repetition of “I,” “I,” “I.” Somebody needs to tell the man the American people are tired of his presenting of himself that it is he who will fix everything. We are not a country of Kings. Get out of the way Obama and go back to your desk for a few days or weeks rather than trying to get on national TV every single day; let Congress do their job.
