Word on the street - April 22, 2010

Skies cleared and temperatures finally hit spring levels over the past week. What’s your favorite sign of spring’s arrival?

“Daffodils. No question.”

(Points to his postal service-issue shorts.)

Does that put you in more danger of dog attacks, though?

“Yeah, I guess they wouldn’t be able to grab a hold of my pant leg instead of leg meat.”

“Flowers.”

What’s your favorite kind of flowers?

“Roses. I know they’re kind of a year-round flower, but they’re my favorite.”

“My horses shedding their hair.”

Do they shed a lot of hair?

“Tons. I could probably carpet my whole barn with their hair.”
