Well, other than the take on the nation’s weather this year (as noted by the other comments), I’d say not one of Parker and Hart’s best efforts – at least, not for me. Oh well, the occasional dud is definitely forgivable, huh? Still a big fan, and I’ll be back to read the next one – and all the rest as well. :-)
PS maybe I didn’t appreciate the poke at the weather ‘cause it’s been more or less typically temperate out here in La La Land – certainly not the extremes the rest of the country has had to endure this year. You all have my deepest sympathies…
The circle of life happens when the flake behind the wheel has to re-learn winter driving every single year. Ditch magnets and black ice help get ’em out of the way.
Punxsutawney Phil’s predictions are right only 39% of the time. Change the rules so that seeing his shadow means a shortened Winter, and his accuracy goes up to 61%. We shouldn’t be surprised that the news media doesn’t report it the way the facts actually work out. It might increase the expectations of the consumer of news for accuracy in other areas.

It’s even worse when Winter teases you with spring temperatures for a day or two and then comes back even worse!

Winter is indeed a test in the circle of life. Dangerous time. Seeing Spring means you made it. Hurry up spring.

Had me thinking for a second it was a haiku. Then I counted.

Every year when a Robin arrives early it stands in my yard looking totally disgusted.

Way too early here in the Northwoods for this cartoon. This April (and sometimes May) in the Upper Peninsula.

Ground hogs are really just large ground squirrels. They make good eating stewed or roasted.
