Homonyms for solstice, antonyms for the past.

Norman Lear created it, in a sense: the older guy, commencing with Archie Bunker, giving the brief "times are changing" speech with homonyms. It may have been Jack Albertson in "Chico And The Man" growling about "pot" and the all prupose piece of cookware ruling the stove, for an example.

Late March in my area had folks wondering if "spring" really did "spring" this year with our earlier spell of well into the 80's. Now there is a cautious feel to the weather: the morning eddie clouds slide away making sure the cirrus are covering their back and it's just above 70.

Not quite 70's or 80's time as your scribe at the helm of Blue Bossa waits at a light on Kester with a primer-swirl vehicle beside me. I have KKJZ on playing Sleepy John Estes and the swirl car is playing rap-o-thump from----when?

I could say it doesn't matter but I know darn well there's a lot more to---no, no, avoid the word "even", Dan!!!---that genre.

But I can pull an Ed Brown homonym which makes me seem a little younger: why, I remember when "cell fee" was what made folks change services in a blink. Don't blink when taking a "selfie".

I think Bossa and I will stick to blue(s).
