I finally picked up my new 2007 Mini Cooper today. Compared to the old VW it’s like driving a tightly coiled spring. The steering is amazingly responsive as is the accelerator. On a larger highway, I had no problem punching it up to 80 without knowing I was doing so…Yes, I’ll be careful, but still the impulse is challenged to just give it some shovel and go…
I’m very happy.

Depending on which calendar you consult, the Vernal Equinox is either today or tomorrow. This is when the ends of the poles (imagine a skewer through the Earth) are pointing neither at nor away from the Sun. In other words, since the Winter Solstice, the North Pole has been arcing its way towards the Sun, and this is pretty much the halfway point.
We had snow last night and today its sunny, windy, and cold. Beginning tomorrow, however, the temperatures are supposed to be climbing into the 50’s for daytime highs. Spring? I hope so. I’m done with winter, I really am.
My Mini Cooper is due to be delivered at the end of this week, so I should have it by Saturday night.
School is going well…Two good classes yesterday and hopefully tonight’s science class will be as smooth. My homework is completed and I know all that I will know. Time to turn it over.
Above are a couple of pictures I like. Very colorful and harbingers of the warming weather, I hope.
