The warm weather starts to creep back into the Midwest. I hope the little cold snap didn't kill off the flowers or stunt the budding of the trees. You have to be impressed by the power of nature to regenerate, though. I have this one nightmare where the seasons get screwed up, and the trees are bare all summer long. And people get depressed from the lack of green, and the suicide rate goes up, and the air quality slips from the lack of cleansing done to the air by the trees. Every day is an ozone action day; people are asked to not drive, but they do, because they just want to get away from the sad-looking trees; get somewhere else. Children climb the trees and and cover them with green paper, trying to make them look right. Out of frustration, a man starts running around with a chainsaw in his neighborhood, hacking at the trees and anything else that gets in his way. He dies when he miscalculates and one of the attacked trees collapses on top of him.
