Good Happy Thursday morning to you all! In my best Cam Edwards impression. It is currently sunny and 22 degrees in Delmar. With the windchill, it feels like about 10 degrees, but the bright and sunny conditions really make up for the cold.

Today is going to be a real nice one, except maybe for the breeze. It will be sunny, with a high near 28. Northwest wind 11 to 15 mph. Maybe not summer like, but oh are those blue skies delightful this morning.

There are 2 months, 7 days until Arbor Day. Spring may be a ways off, but it sure seems spring like this morning, if you are properly dressed that is. If you can’t tell, I’m psyched about the blue skies.

Took the express bus downtown this morning. I know usually don’t get up early enough to catch the 8:26 downtown from the Park and Ride, but this morning I was up and it was bright and sunny. I got an early start and started walking the 9/10th mile down to the Park and Ride. Certainly the express bus route is much more scenic and seems like a smoother commute. I may not need to get to work so early, but it does mean I get a jump on the day.

Today in 1970, the Chicago Seven were acquitted of charges relating to a conspiracy to disrupt the 1968 Democratic Convention. It’s going to be a very interesting year politically, although hopefully not as violent and otherwise awful as 1968.
