Rites of Spring
Well, I know the winter must be ending soon. There are some annual indicators that let me know the warmer weather is on the way. In our grandparents time, they probably looked to the blooming pear trees or listened for the sounds of songbirds returning to the air. For those of us in the modern day, there are two clearer indicators of spring that we can anticipate each year. First, is that every year at this time I read the same article about Kobe, LeBron, KG or some other straight to the NBA star and how they really wish they could have been in the NCAA tournament and that their only regret about having skipped college. The article is always the same - every year. The second sign of spring is that this is also the time of year when we hear the Cubs fans saying, 'this is our year', and '100 plus years of frustration is about to be over'. Let me tell you a secret Cubs fans - no, it is not your year. But, I do appreciate you letting me know the temperatures are about to turn for the better. I am ready for that.

Indicator #3: Minor traffic accidents increase on college campus's through out the nation as co-eds don short shorts and skimpy tops... Cumberland Ave is an insurance agents wet dream!
Ingle - you are correct about the spring scene in Knoxville, and I miss that traffic hazard dearly. Unfortunately, here in the great North, bare legs do not make the scene for another two months. It teaches us patience and endurance.
