Let’s hope so! ACI mentioned that I hadn’t been on much of a rant recently. She’s right, and I don’t know about you, but I really do (I mean, who doesn’t?) enjoy the occasional state-of-the-world-today rant. The thing is, given the current global situation, if I started, I might never stop and just repeat myself on a boring doom loop. You know, like delivering an interminably tedious monologue to Congress…
So instead, let’s keep it light with a bit of this and a bit of that as we head towards spring. Those clocks spring forward this weekend, and that’s a pleasant switch, from dark days to somewhat lighter, isn’t it?
I was chatting with my brother on the phone the other day, covering this and that, and he was sceptical about the amount of snow I was shovelling, so I sent him this from Sunday morning:
I didn’t mention the use of snow moving machinery – if he thinks it was all my own work, well I don’t want to correct him… Maybe we’ll try for the summit again another day, using oxygen tanks and a snow dog to haul us up?
That Scout – what is she like? We’re easily distracted around here. Where were we? Snow? Springing forward? We’ve kept most of the snow off the back deck, often wondering if it was going to be me or the deck collapsing first. Scout says me. She is hopeful she’ll be sunning herself outside very soon, what with the clock change. I’ve just seen the two week forecast, and I haven’t the heart to tell her…
So, no rant, not from me, and instead, plenty of other stuff to be getting on with or looking forward to! In fact, let’s finish on a very positive, even hoppy, note:
Thanks for reading, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Clocks moving forward and backwards always confuddles me for awhile! But nevertheless enjoy the weekend Adam. Cheers to finding calm amid the outer world chaos! 🙃

We are living in absurd times, or so it seems right now (perhaps the time change has left me more than usually befuddled, but bloody hell, chaos it is with our neighbours to the south…)
I shall keep news consumption manageable and remain calmness personified with the aid of a decent beer. Or two.
Stay well!

Careful of those snowy summit climbs, Adam. It’s avalanche season. Better off to sip a good IPA on a sunny patio or inside the door. In any case, enjoy the changing season!

Thanks, Walt! We’ve had a few seasonal ups and downs since the weekend – thaw, freeze, snow, rain – but this seems like calmness itself compared to the bonkers and unneighbourly manufactured war being fought with tariffs. Goodness, such nonsensical behaviour…
Oh well, maybe there’ll be a beer on the deck before too long!
Stay sane!

Another crazy week and I just know I will get a rant out of you one of these weeks no matter how many new beers distract you!! I remember when we had a blizzard in the 70s and played king of the hill on the snowbanks. That is quite a snowbank for a neighborhood and maybe when you make it up there, you and Scout can make snow angels. It’s been a week full of appointments, so I’ve missed a lot of our nice weather, but will get to enjoy a day of rain and 70 degrees on Saturday. Hope you guys are out enjoying the deck soon!!😎

Yup, it is getting more and more nuts by the day – but I remain rant free for the moment, at least outwardly…
Temperatures here are forecast to be above freezing most days the next two weeks – mud season! To the deck is a possibility!
