One week ago today we completed our initial journey to the Great Land with truck and trailer, and things just couldn’t be going any better. We still have to deal with a lot of snow on the ground – we haven’t even been able to get to, much less into, our greenhouse yet – but even here in Willow, winter is losing its grip on the countryside. The snow is melting, a little bit day by day, and before we know it, the wildflowers will be blooming. On Sunday last, in fact, a great mass of snow finally slid off our roof, partially blocking the drive and requiring a fair amount of shoveling.
Oh, and we had a lynx walk through the yard, right past the house. We didn’t see him but found his tracks the other morning.
Now, with that out of the way…
On To the Links!
As many as I can, while I can. I think this guy has plenty of company.
On his own petard, hoisted he is.
Study: Cops aren’t racist murderers.
Why penises are shrinking around the world. Yipes!

Ammo manufacturers address ammo shortage.
Some sports-ball guy makes a pretty good point on race relations.
Pregnant while pregnant. One would think being knocked up would preclude getting knocked up, but biology is a funny business.
Thanks to our blogger pals at The Daley Gator for the link! If these guys aren’t on your daily read list, they should be.
This Week’s Idiots:
Delta’s CEO be-clowns himself on voting security laws.
Crazy Eyes, in addition to being an idiot, is one of the least effective members of Congress. Well, duh. That might explain why some of her fellow Dems are ditching her.
Governor Andrew Dice Cuomo proposes a new tax plan that is a giant steaming pile of idiocy.
Hunter Biden is a liar, a grifter and a crack-raddled idiot.
Salon’s Amanda Marcotte is an idiot. But then, we already knew that.
MSNBC’s Hayes Brown is an idiot.
The Nation‘s Dave Zirin is an idiot.
The New York Times’ is an idiot.
And So:
Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart (who, as we recently noted, also played with Tom Petty) performed as Eurythmics, and had kind of a neat style. Not my usual cup of tea, but they had talent, and a unique kind of sound. Here’s a good example of their work; this is 1983’s Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This.) Enjoy.
