    On US 35 in Centerville,Oh Saturday a bunch of kids gave me the air horn sign with their hands.
    I gave them six blasts of the horn instead of my usual 2.
    I then realized that it has been a few months well that I have not been given the air horn signal,and thought to myself might be the kids (and the occasional adult ) who request a blast from the horn ,have been indoors all this time because of the bad winter weather.

    If those kids being outdoors and giving me the air horn signal isn't a sign of spring,then what about all those bugs splattered across my windshield in Alabama last week?
    Are those a sign of spring?

    I'd take the stench of a skunk over the pleasant fragrance of winter any day.

    I think the skunk is probably a more reliable gauge as to when spring is coming than the ground hog......

    I've been sweating my *** off for a solid week now. And real foggy lately as well. I figure We're already thru the first of our two weeks of spring we get down here. Should be summer by next weekend.:yes2557:

    Was at the Loves truck stop in Loxley ,Al about a week or so ago,and it was so warm and nice outside that I wished I had packed my shorts.

    Can't wait for the temperatures to start going up. If for nothing else,at least I will be able to start getting some excercise outside of the truck.
