It is a truth universally acknowledged, that the news is generally bad news. No news is good news, as they say. But recently two recent items of good news have actually come to fruition this last week or so.
First, the long-awaited beer and wine department of Fern's has tastefully and appropriately transformed Carlisle from a "dry" town into a wet one. I had a chance to check out their offerings today on my way back from the transfer station. Excellent.
And second, WCRB, the formerly great commercial classical radio station, but which went in to a long decline with their servings of the musical equivalent of pap, has been bought by WCRB. There are now no commercials, other than the usual public radio station type, and it appears that they have moved up at least to muesli or granola in their programming.
Meanwhile, the weather is still crazy. It's 69F (20.5C) currently and probably will get quite a bit warmer before it's done. The birds are still hopelessly confused. It is rather pleasant though.
And while I'm on the subject of global warming, this year's crop of pine cones has got to be seen to be believed! I thought the acorns were crazy. But the pine cones are much more impressive in terms of overall volume.
