4/20

4/20

Well here it is, 4/20 already, and by my count this spring, now a month old, has yielded only one fine day, and that was last Friday afternoon.

However, the weather forecast says today will be a pleasant one with a High pressure system bringing relief.

4/20 was the day two years ago that the White House issued press release 2004/04/20040420-2 – that’s a lot of 4/20s! The release was about an address by President Bush reminding Americans of the importance of maintaining our foreign entanglement in Iraq. He told us that the torture chambers and rape rooms of Saddam Hussein would be replaced. We didn’t know then with what they would be replaced; the picture is a little clearer now.

Whoa! Didn’t mean to bum you out on such a nice day. Anyway, I’ve got some stuff to do, and I should get back to you a bit later.

If I’m lucky, I plan to get out of work a little bit early – say 4:20 – and go bowling.
