This blog is based in Northeast Ohio, what was "La Nation du Chat," the Cat Nation, as the French-Canadian furtraders called the Land of the Erie Indians. The blog will touch on many issues: nature, the environment, literature, poetry, society, and politics. Around here we think of the Lake Erie shoreline as the North Coast of the United States--a Frontier in the midst of the Rust Belt.

Declaration of Spring
By the power vested in me, I do hereby declare that Spring will begin at 12:01 AM on Monday, March 1, 2010. This will occur whether or not we have 12 inches of snow, zero temperatures, and dissenting opinions of meteorologists, astronomers, astrologists, parapsychologists, English teachers, Ursuline nuns, or Marianist brothers or priests. I don't care what your Mom has told you. This declaration will be valid in the face of any and all naysayers--and spring will last for as long as I say it will. Amen. So Help Me God.
