Er, no it's not, you wrote this 2 months ago, and there are still sprouts growing it the garden, and a good third of the fields around here, yes I live it sprout raising country! Oh and it's snowing right now.

1. me neither.
2. yes we are!

Simple. In order to demonstrate that we aren't collectively afraid of the darker time of year, we deliberately confront something much more sinister ...
