merely some march madness

This is one of those months where I  haven't found a central theme, but there are a few things I'm not going to enlarge upon. I’m not going to talk about Justin Trudeau’s imminent media event or whether the Americans expect Kim Cattrall to be in attendance.  South of the border, the ongoing presidential reality show continues to garner more media attention than its TV rivals, but I won’t touch it either, though somebody should find the gong.   And while all of the confusion surrounding Toronto’s continually changing transit plans and proposals have some locals tearing their hair out – I have no wish to join them right now.  I’m not even in the mood to rant very much about how the federal PCs now hypocritically clamour for quicker action on issues that they ignored or opposed for a decade while chewing their cuds in power.  Neither am I going try to explain the Hunter S. Thompson-like metamorphosis that I’ve recently noticed that same opposition making into a more slyly reptilian form. Concerns that would never have been mentioned in the house before, are now, like infrastructure, aboriginal injustices, refugee resettlement and a host of other issues as if their previous incarnation as the government had been only a bad dream.  They hiss quite freely and even slip in green references when pushing blue issues like pipelines.  Have these lizard people finally shed their bovine skins to reveal their true colours now that the old silver back is now longer the alpha male?  Or will they mutate into a television reality show of their own?  Whatever!   I’m not going to get into that or any other current crap today so
 
I listened when   Coby the black cat intimated that we should sit out and enjoy the weather.  The sheltered southern facing exposure of our balcony in the full sun often produces a greenhouse effect. Today that effect made it seem like May instead of March.  And because of climate change, in one of its rare and more appealing manifestations the day felt like spring even though it wasn’t.  A memorable one and the first this year that I could actually sit out and relax comfortably for a while with a pleasant little beer buzz, but
 
I'm afraid it’s late now and I’m still not going to discuss any of today’s current events or any other inanities.  It’s been too nice a day to close reflecting on what’s out there beyond the view I saw earlier and the accompanying fair weather – regardless of global warming and the lizard people.
