Spring Fever

Hello all!

(Note: If you haven't much of an appetite for a page or two of yammering, you can wait until I post something more worth your precious time, you stick in the mud.)

Spring fever, that miserable disease that plagues everyone living north of Oklahoma at some time or another, is upon us.
A simple description of the ailment is this:
Spring Fever (Not to be confused with Fruhjahrsmudigkeit or Spring tiredness), also known as Summer Fever, Cabin Fever, etc., is a non-contagious illness that can and will strike at every man, woman and child who ever lives through any sort of snow or cold weather. It is often considered a more common and less severe case of seasonal affective disorder (SAD)

Here's the pattern:
