Those ads that drop down/unfold over/obscure the area that I am trying to read? Those animated ads that chase after me even when I page down down down in order to escape them? I don't read them, other than to hunt for the blasted Close tag. I don't click on them. I sometimes avoid visiting your site because of them. I HATES THEM!

Pop up surveys? KILLKILLKILL!

I don't know how online newspapers and news aggregators will make money. Micropayments, maybe, with an area of the internet becoming a sort of toll road. A penny here, a penny there. But intrusive LOOK AT ME! ads just don't cut it.

Checked the seeds this morning, and found a couple of the kohlrabi seeds sprouting! Even before the basil, which was supposed to sprout in 5-7 days according to the packet.

The daffodils are about 2-3 inches tall. Lawns are greening. The robins are back in force and folks are spring-cleaning their yards...and we're under Winter Storm Warning until tomorrow afternoon as the storm that buried folks out west heads in our direction.

Snowfall rates are expected to hit up to 2-3 inches an hour. No idea what those of us who are closer to the lake could end up with--there's a lakeshore flood advisory because of the winds that will honk down the length of the lake, but whether they will serve to push the snows back?

It's sunny now. Mid 30s. One good thing about the storm holding off is that I will be able to get King to and from the vet in the dry. After I get him home, I will get the grocery shopping done. Probably fill up Kuro. Then I'll hunker down for the duration.

The ground was just starting to dry out. Now it will be a mess of mud and slush again. Guess I will dig the snow shovels out of the garage.
