From the NCR to southern Florida, it feels more like early February than March 4. The northwest wind howling across the frozen steppes this morning took what little fun there is on Monday morning and turned it into an icy mess. Compared to last winter's relatively mild conclusion, this year promises a more traditional ending. I have a feeling we won't be playing golf in the North Country anytime soon.
Meanwhile, the Congress has collectively decided we need to add financial suffering to that caused by old man Winter. The wingnuts are gleeful that many of their neighbors will be taking government sponsored vacations at their own expense. Of course, many government workers near or at retirement age will probably opt out of this particular madness. Their experience and skill will be sorely missed and their fellow workers will have to shoulder additional burdens for no additonal pay. Welcome to the 21st century version of America.
