EDITORIAL - April 10, 2007
Could it be the smell of Spring?
You know, the budding of the trees which leads to those wonderful looking blossoms which leads to runny noses and the sneezes as Springtime allergies kick in.
Maybe it's the result of some of those invisible particles wafting over us as a result of a well-aimed chem trail or something else that's claimed to contain zero emissions but continues to belch out some sort of contaminant that has affected us in some strange and unexplained way.
Maybe it's the result of a not enough to do and a little too much caffeine or maybe it's our current addiction of trying to cheat at Sudoku or the addiction we just kicked of cheating at solitaire.
Whatever the cause, the result is crystal clear:
We have started an office pool.
Not just your ordinary who wins the Stanley Cup-type office pool. No sirree, not around here. We concern ourselves with other matters of major local concern.
