[314] Of the disappointing St. Patrick

The photo was taken a day after St. Patrick Day. I don’t celebrate St. Patrick Day but the day usually marks the coming of spring. Apparently, this year it marked nothing but more snow. What can I say? Grr and brr!

This is what the New York Times Editorial has to say:

…The first flocks of robins are back on the ground, and in the country red-winged blackbirds can be heard in the marshes. Everything is tipping in one direction. And then it snows again. No one is responsible. But it feels like a kind of distributive injustice. There are parts of the world that really need this precipitation. Let them have it.

Hey!
It’s St. Patrick Day!
But hey!
Why does it snow?p/s – maybe we could blame climate change for this eh?
pp/s – for those of you who are offended by my usage of ‘eh’, I apologize. But you Canadians are just adorable. EH!
