23C

Can you imagine, here it is 5:32 P.M. and we are in summertime on March 18.  In all of my of my 81 years I can't remember being outside all day in shirt sleeves.  The day lilies and one tulip have started to sprout, unbelievable.

    1. Climate warming, maybe, or the sun is getting closer, who knows.

  2. Bonjour, Paul.

    The weather is strange out west as well. Temperatures in the teens; snow melted. Rain. What's happening?

    I hope we don't have tornadoes all across the country this year.

    1. I sure hope so. We had a few light ones last summer, but the weather change that we are going through, despite Mr Harper, anything can happen.

    1. Maybe that Japan earthquake caused the earth to lean a little further west on it's axis?

    2. actually, i read that the 2004 quake in the indian ocean did rock the earth a few degrees - and caused wellwater in the midwestern united states to move 18 inches. our beautiful planet is indeed a mystery....

    3. Amanda, right after the quake there were some speculations about that, but I had never seen a confirmation of them. The Midwestern wells would confirm this.
      Glad you mentioned it.

  4. Early spring in Canada ... hope the Canadian white bears will not suffer. With this crazy world they might have a twist and decide to come down to your villes :D

  5. Well they are all ready invading Churchill the most northern Manitoban city and our main port on the Arctic. But since they need salt water they will not come much further south.

  6. Not so long ago they didn't impose daylight saving time until the first week in May, and they returned to standard time in the first week of October.

    Then they found out that people shop more, which is to say they buy more stuff, when daylight is longer in the evenings.

    Hence this extended time change that makes working-people more sleep-deprived than they were before. It's all in the service of Mammon.

  7. And the U.S. has, unilaterally imposed it to the world.
