Gad, it’s been a weird winter.
January was properly cold but we had whole weeks in December and February that were t-shirt weather. March is shaping up to be mild as can be – but I’m only saying that to get the sudden but inevitable betrayal out of the way because March is always the month that breaks my heart. By this time of the season I’m normally so sick of cocooning indoors to stave off the cold that I sort of declare winter over, and it never really is. But this winter, well…
…Tobie’s digging all the Jeep rides, what more can I say.
Anyway – Spring may not be here, but it’s coming. Yesterday I saw the first of the English Sparrows that annually nest in the grocery store columns…
They’re always a welcome sight. And the wind – oh yeah, the Spring wind is here. Shortly the junipers will start getting frisky, and that’s why…
…I’ve made my first pre-emptive antihistamine buy of the season. :\
Hey Joel, here’s something to think about. If you had a Costco membership, you could save a lot on things like Claritin. They sell Kirkland Signature Non-Drowsy All-clear Antihistamine 10 mg, which is exactly the same and cost a lot less. And yes, they do mail order.

Loratadine is the generic of Claritin, and the Wally World/Sam’s equivalent is put out under the Equate brand. A hell of a lot cheaper than the brand-name stuff. I keep a bottle of it in my medicine cabinet for trips back to Kansas.
Or six cents a pill at Amazon.

Let’s see, Ben, at Costco 365 pills are $11:49… On Amazon, 365 pills are $21.19. 🤔 I guess your idea of a deal and mine are totally different.
