March is gone April is here

New tariffs will be imposed tomorrow and that isn’t an April fools joke. The president is calling it “Liberation Day”.  That really sounds like an April Fools’ joke.

When I read the news, it looks like one big April fools joke with presidents who plan to run for a third term while people are being arrested for having opinions that the “government” doesn’t agree with.  Words are being redacted from government websites because someone doesn’t like them.

On a happier note, April showers bring May flowers. April is a kind of transitional month between winter and spring. In some parts of the country, it is already summer, but here in the bold cold north, it is still winter.

Today is also the first day of “Thirty days of biking”.  That also sounds like an April fools joke what with the wind and snow and cold weather. For me “Thirty Days of Biking” is more of a spectators sport. On the warmer, dryer days toward the end of the month, I’ll participate.

Happy April fools’ day. Be careful out there.
