Just a few links for some of those things that I wanted to comment on, but didn't have a full post for:
Buffy has been playing in her yard and gardens. We had warm weather all week (until Thursday anyway) and a lot of our snow melted. Friday morning it was snowing hard when I left for work, but it didn't stick in the bare spots. However, it has been below freezing since then (in the teens Saturday morning), so gardening just has to wait a bit longer.
Perhaps I will start some pepper and tomato seeds today to get some of the spring fever out of my system.

The Weekend Pundit has a thoughtful post on the potential unintended consequenses of the healthcare bill that was recently passed. I am in agreement with him, and really believer that although we are not in the "rich" category, we will be paying even more taxes (our Fica and Fed have both gone up this year even though our incomes haven't - and we aren't even paying for the HC bill yet), get worse healthcare, have longer waits, and have to up our deductible even more than it is presently (1k). And, just for the record, I don't think the "rich" should be footing the bill either.

Imagine if everyone went outside today and picked garbage up off the streets and sidewalks for an hour, instead of sitting at home in the dark *feeling* good about helping the planet.
Heh!

For some lighter fare, there is always LOLCats to bring a smile to your face.
