Two photos, one question

Little Springtime works at the media lab at her university. They have a 3D printer, which, from next semester (... I think?) will be available to students to use. She tested it out and made a hedgehog.



Yesterday and today have been cold, with magnificent if somewhat ominous high winds, but the day before yesterday was warm and melty. Melted snow was coursing down the road. Or rather, it was lapping down the road.

Why does it go down the road in ripples like this? (See the smiles, one after the other? Those are the ripples I'm talking about.) Why not one smooth sheet of water?

I was just reading a couple days ago about 3-D printers that are making organs. But....I can't remember much beyond that. I must be getting older.

If we had flowers I'd take pictures and make you ooooo and ahhhhh. What else can I say about the fact that you've gotten our winter? We had pussywillows two weeks ago and a large flock of robins three weeks ago. No snow and only skijored twice all winter.

Hmmmm. Maybe I REALLY should go out and see if the violets have come up yet (even though it's 6 weeks early).

My son was talking about the printer that could print organs! We really are living in the Star Trek future.

The pussywillows are gamely trying to bloom here too. They must be grumbling about the way the season has failed to live up to its side of the bargain--still so cold and snowy!
