Burn!




I don't have much today, which is like most days except...Tuesday. Our attention
continues to be drawn to the forecast shiny object, otherwise known as EARLY
SPRING! It's okay though. We have to make up for that miserable January, no?

If you look at our average temperature trace for 2024 thus far (English to Okie
translation: "so far"), you can see for each dip, there is a peak, just as for
each Ticker, there is also a dip...errr, author.



And then there's tomorrow, which continues the peaking.



As we said yesterday, "the." We said much more than "the," of course, like how
we'll see a front for Thursday, but it'll just drop us down to a bit above
normal instead of way above normal. But then it's back to spring as we finish
out the month on a warm note.





Remember as a dumb man (yea, me!) once said...better boring warm than boring
cold.
