4/04/11 GLOOMY DAY

CRUMMY WEATHER

Monday, 8:30 AM.  32 degrees, wind WNW, light with occasional stronger gusts.  It is snowing huge wet flakes again, and there is about an inch accumulation.  There was little sap running yesterday and there will be little running today, so I doubt I will collect at all.  The weather is crummy anyway, and both Lucky and I have joints that predict more of the same.  So does the barometer, which has almost become superfluous.
    A thought for this gloomy day, author unknown: A government big enough to give us everything we want is a government big enough to take everything we have. And it always does.
