Late March, early April snow at 43 degrees north

 One year ago, we had an April snow and sleet storm. This weekend some sort of mixed precipitation event is likely. Related is the season total snow amount. When Portland, Maine records one hundred inches October to April impact is far reaching. This season half of 100 seems about right.

Get rid of paper.

 Just now I tore up a scrap of paper with a 1994 newspaper note.  A one-time date had married and twenty-four years later an alumni brief  listed the couples job move. I had clipped that and kept it.  Why would I keep that scrap of paper? So many other stacks of newspaper clippings are here and there.  Time to attack.

We all have a story.

 Life event stories for the young. Here is a small list:

birth;  birthdays; activities;  first words; first steps.

Young adults:

college plans; college progress; graduation; first real pay.

Aging up thirty-- fifty-- seventy.

POSITIVE travel and special travel.

Not so positive.  We all have these.  The full gamut.

Here in Maine from this writer, resigned a position bounced back okay.

Each Monday I have a medium coffee. Never using a drivethru.
