According to my records the vernal equinox occurs sometime just after 11:16 Pacific Time. So we're half way between the shortest day and the longest day. The interval between the half way point and the longest day is called spring. Here in California we have no use for such a season - we just want summer. But I'm glad it's here because it means summer is on the way. Six weeks left of intermittent rain and cold. The heater will go off in the next couple of weeks. Jackets will start to move to the far end of the closet. Short sleeves in front.

A survivor from the Murrah bombing in Oklahoma is suing somebody claiming that Iraq financed the thing. Somebody's conspiracy neurosis has gone off the deep end.

You see a couple of the guns were uhm illegal so the guy couldn't exactly call the cops. Mc Veigh was a dead man no matter what he did. Think Fortier got witness protection. Doubt you'd find him in the white pages.
