Comment The Post Below...
Greetings,
How is everyone enjoying their Spring so far? In case you
didn't notice it, Spring was supposed to have sprung on
Monday, the 20th. Not that you could tell from the weather
here in the Chicago area. In January it was up around 60
degrees and now, at the end of March, we're enjoying
freezing temperatures and even snow. That's global warming
for you.
But you can't expect Spring to start on the 20th like
turning on a switch. The reason March 20th is the official
first day of Spring is because it is the Vernal Equinox.
The Equinox is when the Sun will cross directly over the
Earth's equator. Translated literally, equinox means "equal
night" because the sun is positioned above the equator, day
and night are about equal in length all over the world.
That also means the days will now start to get longer as
well as warmer. Unless you're on the other side of the world
in which case...welcome to Fall!
Have you had enough Earth Science for today? Okay, let's
get on with today's issue!

************* BIZARRE STORY OF THE WEEK **************
--------- Suspect Hangs On For Ride Of His Life -----------
TORONTO - A suspect trying to evade police officers picked
the wrong spot to hide. He climbed underneath a parked
tractor-trailer which suddenly started moving down Highway
401 before he could let go. He clung to the trailer until a
motorist driving by noticed him hanging below the truck and
called police. Officers had to perform a risky vehicle stop
with cruisers fanning out to stop other vehicles. After they
stopped the trucker, who wasn't aware of his extra load,
they arrested the man. "I'm amazed that this young man is
still alive, to be honest with you," Ontario Provincial
Police Const. Joel Doiron said. The man had been a suspect
in an investigation over a stolen car.

CLEAN LAFFS:
When I was 28, I was teaching English in a high school where
occasionally the faculty and staff were allowed to dress
down. One of those days I donned a sweatshirt and slacks. A
student came in, and his eyes widened. "Wow!" he exclaimed.
"You should wear clothes like that every day. You look, like,
