Spring has springeded.

The cherry trees have been in bloom for at least two weeks now. The scent is beginning to fade from the neighborhoods. Many daffodils and other flowers are already in bloom.

And it snowed the last three days IN TOWN. Getting snow once is notable, even in winter. Twice in a row is odd. Three sequential days in spring is insane.

What's it like back east?

Sorry, I'm too dumb to know how to embed it. At least I'm not as dumb as politicians who do not remember that their appearances are recorded and archived...

Justice for Ryan Frederick

Police break into man's house unannounced at night. Man shoots and kills one of the officers, thinking he's being burglarized (there was a break-in a week earlier). Police find that the lead was bad- he's not growing or selling weed. Punchline - Man is on trial for murder.

Huh?

a) There have got to be better ways to arrest the guy for allegedly growing weed than an unannounced night raid. The man had no criminal record.

b) Let's end the drug war against marijuana users.

28 year old Ryan Frederick is just your average dude. i'm hoping this can be the high-profile case bringing policy changes- this is not the first time something like this has happened.

Ryan's not the only victim of this situation- don't forget the officer is dead, leaving behind a wife and three children. Let's hope something changes for everyone's sake.
