Presidents’ Day & Valentine’s Day & That Austrian Stuff….

As is evident, the past six weeks herein have been devoted to a “we” being Austrian, if you come right down to it.  The topic was not expected to be as long as it has become, and there is at least one additional thing that should be wandered through, if not more as things unfold.  Meanwhile, day has dutifully followed day so that yesterday was set aside officially to remember all the people who have served the nation as a president, good or not so good, sometimes with the price being the person’s life.  That is above and beyond Friday being set aside to remember those who are beloved.  And, it’s also possible the weather can continue to be notable. 

Well, the first thing to do is pause in the discussion and at least acknowledge that the special days exist, even if there is not much discussion about them.  Both Valentine’s Day and Presidents’ Day have personally been appreciated.  It’s hoped others had as decent a time with them as well.  Belated Happy Valentine’s Day to anyone looking in, and it’s hoped the holiday day off was a great break from work for those that had time off with pay.  And, maybe there will be a next year with nothing over-running what is on the calendar.  As for the ‘Austria ramble,” various thoughts about it are floating around as it seems to be an important point to cover somehow. 

No cute little Valentine card is being offered as it is more than three days after the fact already.  No commentary about the presidents is going to be made other than what has already been said about Abraham Lincoln (last Tuesday).  As for the weather which is a top topic these days, while there may very well be some cold and snowy days still in the works for the northlands, people ought to be getting acclimated to it already.  It’s been discussed enough that it would be a welcome change to think about other things.  As for the now gone Dual Monarchy, even though cabbage rolls were in the talk in the place underfoot over the weekend, there’s no more room here now. 

It can take time to figure things out.
