I'm still waiting for the spring that hasn't sprung.

I found three computers today, all of them work

A Commodore 64 a day keeps the Apple II away!

Are you still below freezing point?

Are you still below freezing point?

It's -1°C right now, with overcast skies and a cold wind.

I wish I could do something for you!

By next Sunday, it's supposed to get to 17°C.

That would be a very quick change then.

The kind that can cause flooding. We'll have to wait and see.

The weather didn't delay the release of these rescued birds. The loon and the red-necked grebe had landed in ponds too shallow for them to take off from. (In other words, puddles caused by melting snow.)

Wonderful photos, Czevski.
The loon, in particular, needs more room than most waterfowl for takeoff.

 

[Czevski]

Loons and grebes have their legs so far back (to help in diving) that they can take off flying only from deep enough water.

Someone's fixed up this old Ford Fairlane to look like a vintage police car.
