All the plants are back outside--those that survived the mice. They ate 4 of my 6 spearmint cuttings. Damn rodents. It has been much too cold to do much outside and will be for most of this week. Spring has definitely not sprung. Mixed in with the rain I think we had either a bit of snow or some light graupel. But the temperature stayed just above freezing. The plants that came back from the winter are all doing well.

Time Goes By has another good post asking "Are Old People's Lives Worth Less Than Young People's Lives?"

Contrary Perspective has a good one this morning: Opening Up The Economy: A Crap Shoot. No, I don't feel lucky.
