We'll all feel and fare much better, come January 2nd. Even tho'
we'll be into those 2 months of oppressing climatic gloom.
I still think January and February should be rolled up into one
month called Bleakember. Anyhow, I, too have noticed a lot of
manifested impatience on the streets lately. But it'll pass.
As a Canadian, I think there's a lot of NHL withdrawal affecting
traffic, too.
cheers,
Tom
