March 19, 2010 – Really?

March 19, 2010 – Really?

As spring time comes around, we like to say people lose their minds a little. Somehow, jeans become common gear even though there’s snow and slush all around. I think the weather makes people dreamy and they pay more attention to the world around them and a little less to their dog sledding team.
