Darn that global warming.

Indeed. We had sleet here this morning.

It's spring here... bluebonnets and other wildflowers appearing all over.

It goes ... I like the job function, I like the people, I even like the lady who comes by every day to sell homemade breakfast tacos (porkchop and potato with her own homemade salsa), but this company is exhibiting some of the classic signs of a dot-com. That could be a bad thing, or it could be a good thing ... time alone will tell.

That’s great, plants with a history are sometimes the best kind.

Glad we had a nice morning and afternoon, the gardening felt great.

Afternoon MissRose - we all appreciated the newjob report. Hope it turns out to be a good thing. In the meantime it’s a paycheck and the opportunity for breakfrast tacos. That alone could prove interesting indeed.

Well...like you said, could be a good thing, could be a bad thing. In the meantime...I’m guessing you get more say in your job description and all than you might in a more established place, and that’s gotta be interesting, huh?

And homemade breakfast tacos are an excellent perk... Mmmm...

I'm hoping this job is a toe in the door. They're talking about building a billion-row, 100-terabyte data warehouse from the ground up. This is exciting to me ...!

And, yeah, the tacos are really delish. I'm hoping she sells tamales at Christmas. Yum-yum-YUM!

I hope to start test-driving cars in 30-45 days ...

I had Spring last week. But I apparently misplaced it...

How careless of you! ;o)

We did a couple of hours of work in the back yard today, leveling out where we'd poured the post last fall, and getting ready so we can pour some more on the next clear day, which, I think, is Wednesday.

Oh, and in case you read this in time, the ISS and Jules Verne will be flying over y'all about 8:15 to 8:17 or so this evening. It should be coming up and over coming from the West North West, and it will be almost right over you, heading East North East. I think the ISS is first tonight, and it will be brighter than the Jules Verne which will follow a couple of minutes later. SirKit said they won't be quite as bright tonight as they were last night, but you should still be able to see them.

Thanks. But it’s too overcast out there tonight. I just checked again.

Well, we did see the ISS again, nice and bright, but we couldn’t see the Jules Verne. Don’t know if it came over before, or much after, but either way, it was too dim to be seen. It’s going to be cloudy here tomorrow night, so we won’t likely see it again for a few more days, if it comes over our way again.
