And it's Mama on the right is throwing up her hands in exasperation. I can just hear her prickly comment, "UGH! Kids today!"Looks like that left hand Saguaro is flipping the bird.
What's the temperature where you are???

Currently 33 F, overnight got down to 24. It's a sunny, clear day, and the sunlight deceives us into thinking It's warm.

Wednesday 12th of February 11.35a.m. Sunny and breezy. 9.3 / 11.1kph ESE, Hg 52%, 23.4C / 74.1 / top of 25C / 77F. Shower or two. Marine wind warning.
Moon is 99.7%

After 11 days of severe weather and warnings, north Queensland residents can expect to see sunshine on Wednesday.
Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Matt Bass said it was good news for the saturated region that was recovering from flooding.
"The monsoon trough and low that's been driving lots of this weather has started to consolidate nicely offshore," he said.
"That shower activity will really ease today and there should be quite a bit of sunshine."
Areas north of Townsville recorded falls of 50-100mm since 9am yesterday, with the highest total of 117mm recorded at Innisfail.
Mr Bass said he was expecting the mostly dry conditions to continue for the coming days.
"The risk of rainfall today, for Townsville is probably the highest chance, but we're not expecting any significant totals," he said.
"For Thursday and Friday we've got partly cloudy on the forecast."
Fellow forecaster Felim Hanniffy said it had been the wettest February on record and was close to beating another record.
"Townsville is just shy of its all-time record set back in January, I think it was 1953," he said.
"It's only about 20mm off that now."
Ingham's Health Service was operating with more than 60 people in its 28-bed hospital at one point during the region's flood emergency.
Medical superintendent Dr Selina Porter said doctors, nurses, administration and support staff set up camp at the hospital.
"It became clear early on that the floods could be as big as 1967, the biggest flood on record," she said.
"So some of our staff made the commitment to stay at the hospital instead of going home, sleeping on makeshift beds and couches."
Health authorities have urged precaution during the aftermath of the floods, warning flood waters may contain dirt and bacteria.

Is it normal there to have those sort of temps this time of year? They seem to be all over the place.
Not going to say the four letter word I am hating so much….
Instead here goes:
20:24hrs, south central Ontario Canada
-10C (24F) and partly cloudy, there is a full moon making it very light out there as it reflects off the evil white stuff.
Tonight it’s forecast to drop to around -15C. Evil white stuff will start up around late afternoon tomorrow.
Evil white stuff warning is now out for tomorrow. Yay
No one here is happy except my co-worker who enjoys snowmobiling. The rest of us are fed up. But as mum says, it’s Canada, it’s ‘the true north’ brrrrr! My veterinarian says it great having this freezing weather, it kills of pathogens and insects that shouldn’t be here. Farmers are happy with the white stuff, it means moisture for the fields. Yes I am talking myself into looking at this as a good thing, it really doesn’t help that the last couple winters were abnormally warm with little snow. This years more normal winter has reminded all of us what is normally.
Evil white stuff totals up to 25cm expected.
Spain is really looking good right now!
