Quote of the day:
   “Treat those who are good with goodness, and also treat those who are not good with goodness. Thus goodness is attained. Be honest to those who are honest, and be also honest to those who are not honest. Thus honesty is attained.”
~ Laozi (also Lao-Tzu /ˈlaʊˈdzʌ/ or Lao-Tze, Chinese: 老子; pinyin: Lǎozǐ, literally "Old Master"), an ancient Chinese philosopher and writer. He is known as the reputed author of the Tao Te Ching, the founder of philosophical Taoism, and a deity in religious Taoism and traditional Chinese religions.

Hereabouts the landscape appears quite wintry, the second day of spring notwithstanding.  The area is slowly getting back to business – about half of the schools systems are closed and the other half, as well as the federal, state, and local governments opened two hours late.  We are all kinda looking for spring at this point and grumbling that Punxsutawney Phil only said SIX more weeks of winter and we are well past that point

 

Of course, we often just kinda skip spring and dive right into summer-like heat and humidity when it is cold late in the year like this
