What happened to Feburary?
I was trying to figure out how many weeks until the Old Rag Mountain trip when I realized I seem to have misplaced a month.
2.5 weeks til Paddy's Day. Pray for my soul.

The good news is I'll be in the woods in 5 weeks at the latest.

February sucks, has sucked and will always suck. With March comes spring.

With March comes Paddy's Day. Praise it all you want, you've never worked Paddy's day. Although Feburary did suck.

Depending on where you live March can be just another winter month, April too. Sometimes in March, if blessed with the proper conditions, I have seen a green blade of grass.

Pink, my birthday too.

I don't think I've ever seen anything that looks like spring in March. March = Nor’easters.

Its sunny today and the skies are blue. The rain from the recent torrents still puddles the parking lot and the mud and muck of the construction project 50 feet from my window has taken on a gem like appearance as it glimmers in the sun light. The excavator bellows its spring calls and fills the air with its black clouds of exhaust as the ding ding ding of the backing off road dump truck echoes from the mounds of fresh dirt pilled everywhere. Ahhh, nothing says spring like the boom and the clang of a tail gait slamming against the raised bed of the haul trucks as they bang the last clods of muck from their steel bellies.

Here in Indiana March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb. We usually have green grass and leaf buds on the trees at the end of the first week in April.

My birthday is also in March. Sometimes it's 50, 60 or I remember once, 70. Most of the time it's the slushiest, coldest, windiest, nastiest part of our winter here in MI.

So, if you work at an English-themed pub instead of an Irish-themed pub, does Guy Fawkes day suck?

Your average moron doesn't care if it's English or Irish. All they hear is PUB.

so does your PUB cater to the more upscale moron or your average one?

Usually, a more well behaved moron. It's generally packed on weekends, but no fights, no a*holes (for long). On Paddys day there is no such thing as well behaved. It's a freakin mob mentality.

This means I won't get winter rates in hotels/motels anymore and I'm back to camping. It's a great deal in WA, because you can get a beautiful 60 degree winter day and pay winter rates for a hotel/motel with water views, microwave, refrigerator and continental breakfast for $50-$60. How can you camp with prices like that? Add in a fireplace and you pay $69.
