another sign of spring

Ah, spring. The birds are singing, the woodchuck is out and about,
the air has promise.

And the motorcycles are out. Illegally loud. Annoying. Whatever steps
my local government has done about this, if any, are inadequate. Loud
noise really lowers the quality of life. I wish something was being
done about this.

And soon to be heard, loud car stereos. I would think it would be
easy to station cops anywhere and have them ticket offenders. That
would help but I don't think anyone does that.

1st ant seen

I just saw the first ant, a small black one, inside my house on the kitchen table at 8:35 pm. I put him/her outside in the 30 degree weather to fend for him/herself.

Will they be as bad they were last year?
