SPRING. I’m calling it.

Keep in mind I write these in advance- as I compose this its the end of February and its 7 degrees outside— we are surrounded by ice and I don’t mean the good kind that is getting criminal elements out of our minority communities— for those of you upset- leave your gated community and go to one of these neighborhoods and ask people who live there what they think— they are supportive of getting criminal gangs out of their streets.

Back to the point- despite a few forecasted freezing days I’m calling it— we’ve broken Winter’s Back. Puxatawny Phil got it wrong— it won’t be a long winter, Long Island Chuck is the new groundhog champion and he called early Spring.

You can feel it with the sunshine— it’s stronger! By the time we change our clocks back (and have you heard this is likely our last time doing that stupid process?) the ice will be gone.

I’m calling it.
