Stormy Weather

Whether or not weather interests you or not, it can affect all of us directly or indirectly. It is fascinating because we cannot control Mother Nature even tho we have so many different weather websites showing everything from the current national radar loop to the local dewpoint forecast. It's always good to know what's coming weatherwise in case any preparations need to be enacted. If you had an outdoor wedding planned and this big mushroom cloud rolled into town, it might be nice to know about it ahead of time. I suppose some weathermen might report this as a partly sunny day. I guess it's all in how you look at it.

Spring Buffalo

I'm not sure if today or tomorrow is the first official day of Spring but let's just deem that it's TODAY! One way to tell it's Springtime around here is flooding. (Flud is a four-letter word.) Fargo/Moorhead has these buffalos all around town, each painted differently by different artists. This one at the intersection of Main & Broadway looks like Spring to me. That means it's time to go mow my snow.

Toast To Ourselves

Toast To Ourselves

From the dock, throw a rock, make a splash

Beware that small ripple may spread like a rash

Rings of itch affecting people like me

Only love is the balm that will set us all free

Rise up over clouds of mutual destruction

To hear more bubbles, and far less sucktion

Try to pump the flood, instead of flood the pump

Ride your waves of karma like Forrest Gump

Grumpy frown clown still waits for a laugh

Watching the intern explain his pie graph

Dessert in the den with some add-on poems

Usually includes some beers with foams

Toast to ourselves with some jelly and jams

Hopelessly adrift, but happy as clams.

Tower of Shower

It is always nice when water towers say the name of the town they serve.

For anyone who forgets where they are, just look up at the water tower.

I wouldn't want to be the person who paints these giants.
