For the second day in a row, I've been seeing a strange, fiery orb in the sky. It seems vaguely familiar, but I can't quite place it. Has anybody else seen this, or is this some local phenom?

I heard something similar on the radio in Vancouver once because it rains so much.

Speaking of strange things, the other day, I saw this strange looking creature that had a beak, a red belly and wings and it made this chirping sound. Hmmm....

That IS strange, MsAnn...do you think it's from a government experiment?

Could be. Maybe they want to lull us into thinking spring is here so they can catch us off guard when they drop more snow on us.

My first thought was literally "what the hell?". Then I realized. Now I feel kind of slow. -_-

Don't feel bad, Victoria. If you're like me, your blood is partially frozen by this *@#$!!! winter! (Hence the slowness.)

You don't happen to live in Nevada, do you?

Nope, I'm an Indiana Hoosier. (Sorry.)

Ok, I also didn't get it immediately... Well done, EW

There was something scurrying around on our front lawn with a furry tail. Then it took off running. I was wondering what had frightened it. Then I saw the emergence of Chippy, our local monster chaser. Chippy is our chipmunk. He and his family have been living around out front stoop for years. Could it possibly be spring? I'm afraid to hope.

I wish it was autumn already...
