The forecast joy was exceeded. Sixtyfive degrees and the warmest day since October or so.

However, I did not see my own shadow. It was overcast and even a little humid by local standards.

Soft bliss.

Arizona police held family with children at gunpoint!

In an improbable coincidence, all of the dangerous children in these situations were black, and the cops white.

I miss the actual proper javelina from down south. I sure don’t miss going through checkpoints though.

In the warm evening tonight I saw my first bug of the season out on the driveway. No real idea what it was, but it did have back legs that were bent cricket-style. So maybe one of those at some unfamiliar early life stage.

I think it had some smelly defense though, because of the way the orange barn cat backed away from it.

That’s plenty of drama for one day, by my standards.
