Just saw a Robin, signs of spring are start to appear.
I judge spring from our local harbinger plum tree, which is always first to bloom along with the crocuses and was in full bloom when the winter storm descended upon us. Its blossoms are dark now, so not sure if it will bear any fruit this year.
40F @ 77% RHl, cloudy, and predicted to soar to 50F. Lu lu lu lu lu lu lu lu lu lu lu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! About time!
Oregon continues to release the vaccine to more folks, but also continue to fail to actually stick it in someone's arm. They just announced that by July, everyone in Oregon will be vaccinated, yet neither my wife or I have received a schedule and we are both in our 70's, nor have front line restaurant workers, while our inmates/prisoners have received theirs.
Oregon is intent on leading the nation in moral purity, but despite our lofty ideas, our execution sucks bilge water. The latest Oregon movement is to take racisms and prejudice out of
mathematics through "center ethnomathematics" which takes away the requirement that the student get the right answer, and that they show their work in class.
The question is, "how will our ethnomathmatic students fair in the international job market that they are competing in for jobs?"
More shooting last night, including one house with kids present riddled with bullets, some striking the kids sleeping mattress. Oregon legislation in the works to fix the problem by taking away the rest of our gun rights, including the right to carry in a public place, even with a permit.................... They are seemingly too stupid for it register that the gunfire is gang violence over drug territory and the rest of our population is using guns in self defense against those outlaws, yet they themselves carry, as do their bodyguards.
What the f**ck are they doing about the gang violence themselves besides writing new laws making it more illegal, but doing nothing to enforce them??
These sniveling limp wristed a-holes seemingly still believe you can pick up a turd by the clean end and that a touchy feely plan continues to work if you are patient and accommodating, even after the first fist lands in your face, while I've come to believe that there is no parry without an automatic accompanying riposte. Parryriposte being one word and done in the same motion.
