Appreciating Winter's Last Hurrah

DAY 16 OF 46





Bright sunshine, about 75 degrees, and just the slightest touch of a light breeze.

Sound wonderful? It has been, at least here in the Dallas area today.

But as I surf the Internet, listen to the news, and read posts on FaceBook, I realize that many people across the United States continue to suffer through what seems to be an interminable winter of snow, freezing rain, and biting wind.

As far as I've been able to research, his Calvin and Hobbes books are now out of print. At least I'm not making any money off of their use here.
