I’m always wary about declaring victory (being a Husker football fan, I’ve found that I can never that victory is certain until the end of the game!). But I think our clash with winter is over — here, but not around the country yet by any means.
Y’all out there in California had quite a week, especially near the Sierra Nevadas where ten feet (or more) of snow fell in a short amount of time.
Anchorage has had one of its snowiest winters ever. We were fortunate to be able to go up there in late February. No snow in the air, but lots on the ground, until our last two days, and then we got five inches on each of those two days. It was very, very pretty coming down. I like watching snow.
We don’t get enough snow in Carolina.
So I was again humbled in a game of chess with my granddaughter. I was trying a new approach and she wiped me out before I knew what was happening. It’s a delightful thing when that happens. I guess I kind of feel like I’m thinking that I’ve made the world a better place. That may be true or false. I do think this young generation is going to be a significant group of folks, something on the order of the Greatest Generation. Certainly not the Boomers.
