I'm tired of the looming government shut down talk. We've been operating under one continuing resolution after another since last year. Every few weeks the anxiety over the potential shutdown kicks into high gear. I've been reading the comments on various on-line articles about the budget impasse and one person wrote something like if we are going to shut down, then have TSA, Federal Prison workers, our military -- have them not report to work and have a real shut down. Maybe then people will understand that the government is important and does serve the people. Amen to that. According to several articles I've read, the shutdown would actually cost the government money. We are halfway through our fiscal year and we still don't have a budget. It makes planning really difficult. April 8 is the next deadline.
In scary news, traces of radiation have been found in milk on the west coast from the nuclear power plant tragedy in Japan. Traces of radiation have also been found in snow in Mass. and NH. I can't even imagine the heartache, sorrow and devastation that the Japanese have experienced since the earthquake. It makes future energy discussions much different than any pre-earthquake.
Tomorrow is April 1 and we are on the rain and 6-12" of snow line. If we get tons of snow, the joke is on me. I'm not in the mood for snow.
