Speaker For The Diodes - It's finally Spring -- I can tell

03:54 pm - It's finally Spring -- I can tell

Well, now we know that Spring is really here. How do we know? The sheep said so!

Okay, it was a farmer with really good collies who said so, using sheep as a medium, but I liked the picture. The idea of writing messages using livestock has always appealed to me ... someday I'll have to talk somebody into implementing my "refrigerator poetry with cows" plan: paint words on the sides of a bunch of cows that graze in a field visible from the highway, and let them rearrange themselves into phrases. (I also want a simulated version of this as a screen saver.)
