On The First Day Of Spring ...

 The first day of Spring which also happens to be the Vernal Equinox, occurred on March 20, 2025 really dang early on Thursday. Like two hours after midnight early. I slept right through it. Anyway the sun rose just like it always does and that has absolutely nothing to do with spring, a Vernal Equinox, or not much else. The Earth rotates and thus we get the impression that our sun rises. Our sun does not really do a thing except burn brightly at the center of our Solar System. Anyway and so, the first day of spring 2025 and winter is over and I can say that, as I got to see one incredibly large flock of vultures as the vultures were flying north and that's what the vultures do as they migrate. The vultures fly south in the autumn before winter slaps a cold choke hold on our North American continent and the vultures migrate back north come the Vernal Equinox which is the first day of spring. Amazing flock of the vultures and I do love to see gigantic flocks of vultures as they migrate, the vultures are so graceful in flight. Hundreds of vultures and we'd paid a visit to our local WallyWorld so's I could pick up an inhaler and then ... and then ... we're getting ready to vacate our local WallyWorld and I encountered a pigeon that was dang friendly so I paid respects to the pigeon and the goof started pigeoning in my direction and was making cooing love calls and I think the dang pigeon was hitting on me. I can't be certain but ... that little incident was an incident I've never encountered before ... ever. I smiled at the pigeon and reminded the bird that after all this was the first day of spring and although I could empathize with the pigeon's urges, there was no way this encounter would amount to much more than a smile and wave boys, smile and wave. Now for Friday machine art and bless the vultures as they migrate back north.

all things considered, Thursday being the first day of spring was amazingly pleasant. A lovely day out here in the outback Mojave and a quite large flock of migrating vultures ... yes Thursday did NOT suck. 😎
