It's daylight savings time this morning

as we "get another" hour of daylight. Spring is right around the corner.

Listening to Stitcher yesterday afternoon Facebook wants to buy 11,000 aerial drones. The idea is to have these drones solar powered 60,000 feet in the atmosphere. The drones apparently can stay afloat for about 5 years at a cost of $70 million bucks for all 11,000 of them. The idea with these drones is to provide internet access nodes for remote areas. Google has started baby steps with balloons that accomplishes the same thing. Facebook's drone project is more ambitious. Apparently no single country owns the air space at that altitude so it's like the wild west up there. .

With this warmer air we're currently getting (+5-+8.) temps. Most of this snow on the ground will be gone by Saint Patrick's day. We'll probably have patches here and there and build up in shady areas but for the most part, it should be gone by then.Anyway that's all for now.
