AH SPRING


Spring has sprung in the Ridge. The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming and it's time to break out the neti pot. My allergies are through the roof. Is anyone else having a hard time?

On the plus side, I don't have the swine flu yet.

Rob, yeah I saw that. While I can agree that it was questionable whether to have the millions of dollars in the stimulus package (was it really going to stimulate the economy?) it's certainly co,ming back to haunt her.

The economic/health issue is intriguing. You've probably seen today's stock reports:

"Wall Street falls as flu fears dampen economy hopes"

Maybe the idea is that being ready for a pandemic protects the economy more than stimulates it.

I know. It could very well be that it protects it. An apple a day...
