It is so fun to live here in Michigan;
We are living with those who are disgruntled with the New Budget-as passed;
and as a result today, 6/7/11 there is an afternoon 'protest' slated to take place around various School districts--"at the close of the school day" of course [as stated by the MEA-We are the people--we are the MEA]
CORRECTION BELOW: 5:42 p.m. 6/7/'11
We have a group of folks [opposed to the new bridge span] passing out notices to homeowners in the Delray area, that look like 'Eviction notices'.
NOT True, but that is the geographical area where the owner of the Ambassador Bridge wants to STOP the 2nd bridge to & from Canada from being built [not, as typed earlier where his 1st span is now & where he wants his 2nd span opened]
We are recovering from a number of "Rain" days; our rivers have lowered from the crest or over crest stages; the puddles in roadway crevices / holes are gone; the flowers [perennials] are all coming into bloom at the same time;
These are good things as they mean we can get back to businness as usual.
Now we have warnings about the weather once again;
...these warnings encompass the temperatures;
...these warnings are 'posted No outside Fires allowed';
...these wrnings are to parents concerning protective dress for children;
...these 'dress' warning are falling on the older students' 'deaf ears' as they
continue to wear as little & as light an outfit that will allow them to remain the
day in said school. [Been there--done that--trials of teaching during heat-waves];
What are these warning you may ask:
our temps are moving into and staying in the Hi 80s to mid-90s;
our temps are causing serious-breathing problems for some seniors;
our temps are the ones that we all called for plaintively in March & April;
our temps are summer-time temps, but we are not into Summer yet;
our temps are derided, debased, defiled & delightful;
our temps are the reason why the fountains need to be filled often;
our temps are the basic operating premiss of: close the blinds, keep the
outside doors closed, set the Air on the highest temp that is comfortable,
drink fluids [non-alcoholic ], use the oven wisely;
Doing all those things; living with the outside temps that ARE hot;
hearing all the complaints viced about items that are active-politically;
living with inside temps set to 74* and doing all of this in the beautiful sunshine that we are experiencing---
Is fine with us.
In fact, if this keep up then a move to Fl. is not so necessary; but wait--we only have this during the summer time and even then not guaranteed==Florida has the potential for this type of weather almost year-round [maybe not the 90s part]
So--Sign Us up!
Life is to Live:
It all depends upon how you view life in general & your life in particular
Make your own laughter, and you will laugh and bring others to do the same.
Michigan:
...has it's budget--the problems that we /all feel can be worked out;
...there will be a 2nd bridge to & from Canada--not named as yet;
...the weather we will have with us, with all it's changes;
The best advice to all is to remember what it was like in our Winter 2010
& Spring 2011. Do know that the cold will come to us again in 2011.
