This is the first time in years that the trees haven't started sprouting leaves by late February in this part of Texas. Here it is the beginning of Spring, and everything is still generally bleak. Well, all except for weeds and things like that.
I'm pretty sure that it has something to do with Global Warming, El Nino, La Nina, lead in the water supply, aliens infiltrating the government, and people putting expensive large scale locomotives under their arm pits.
