Recently, a run on Maui Jim shades would have made sense. Let’s reach for the Coppertone.
Time to sing sunshine songs: “I’ve Got Sunshine on a Cloudy Day,” “The Future’s So Bright (I Gotta Wear Shades),” or any “sunshine” song that promises hope, happiness and good times “a-coming.”
About the cutest smile I have ever seen:
You can’t see the forest for the trees and you can’t see the climate for the weather. It is cool in Iowa for April, so I guess we can bury our heads in the sand once more and pretend there is no climate problems.
Unfortunately there are plenty of climate problems. To underscore that, some news reporting has slowly started to favor the term “climate emergency” over the more well known “climate change” or “climate crisis.” Will the word emergency do anything to get some people, especially a certain American political party, to change their behaviors and do even a little to stop the looming crisis?
The plan for the discussion to fall on Tuesday, April 13, is no coincidence. It’s the same day, 67 years ago Hank Aaron made his major league debut in baseball

People often forget that
Aaron, who died on Jan. 22, started and finished his major league career in Milwaukee. He played for the Milwaukee Braves from 1954 until he moved with the team to Atlanta in 1966. But he returned to Milwaukee to play two seasons with the Milwaukee Brewers in 1975 and 1976. In fact, he broke
Babe Ruth’s RBI record as a Brewer and he hit his last home run (#755) in July 1976 at the old County Stadium. He even played his last All Star game in that same stadium wearing a Brewers uniform and, of course, he retired as a Brewer.
In fact, Aaron came out of a brief retirement to return to Milwaukee mostly to do us a favor. He didn’t need the money or the accolades, but the Brewers needed the boost. A struggling young franchise, the team set an attendance record in the first year of Aaron’s return. It was a mediocre ball club; people showed up to see Hammerin’ Hank.
