Is It Spring This Time?

After a false start about a month ago, it looks like spring might have actually gained a foothold this time. It was a glorious sunny day with highs in the upper sixties and more of the same forecast for the next ten days. There is the possibility of a few thundershowers next week, but thunder is another harbinger of spring.

I stopped to check on any progress they might have made on my convertible, but it's not going very fast. The rear end has been changed, and he's working on the suspension, but nothing has been done to prep it for paint. I have a hunch it's going to be well into convertible season before I get it back.

Except for the governor's race, the local tea party supported candidates did very well. Our over the hill local RINO was defeated by the very conservative young man who visited our coffee group last month, and another woman who visited us was elected county clerk against tall odds. Her opponent was supported by the party and all the big name politicians, but she easily defeated him. A few years ago, he organized a union for county workers and that unpopular effort came back to bite him. I enjoy watching RINOs defeated almost as much as I enjoy watching Democrats go down.
