In like a lion

In the Berkshires just west of us they've had more than a foot of snow so far today; to the east, along the coast, they're having high winds and disaster-level flooding. Here in our pleasant valley it's been windy and raining all day, and maybe a little snow tonight.

It's all about a big nor'easter amplified by full-moon high tides and it's not expected to blow itself out for another day or so. We're already looking forward to the "out like a lamb" end of March.

I woman of my own mind

 I was standing in line at the grocery store this morning with nothing much to do but read the cash register terminal while the woman in front of me was being checked out. She had seven different kinds of meat and some bananas.

Perfect.

I hope the bananas were for making a pie.
