The days are getting warmer, the snow is melting, Yes, spring has arrived. Just as the Swallows return to Capistrano the Dog droppings will reappear on the streets of our fair city. After a long winter of hibernation they start to poke their heads out of their slowly thawing prison. "Free at last, free at last, thank God almighty, we are free at last".......OK. that might be a bit much. As the character Kilgore, played by Robert Duval in the movie "Apocalypse Now" said "I love the smell of dog s_ _ t in the morning"......or something like that. Sudbury has other rituals to celebrate the arrival of Spring.
- The sheep have returned to the pastures in Valley East and the "Valley Boys" keep their rubber boots in the back of their trucks. "I'm in love with Ewe" can be heard throughout Val Caron and Hanmer.
- Derelict vehicles are sprouting like dandelions all over the front lawns of residences in Dowling and Levack...."We don't need a trampoline Mabel, Johnny can bounce on the hood of that 83 K-car
- Faster than free tickets to an Elton John Concert, potholes are being filled.
- Freshly washed Imm_ paa_ laas can be seen throughout Lively. (Impala's, for those who don't speak Finn)
- Ducks can be seen swimming in the many swamps and ponds of Chelmsford and Azilda.....which is every front yard.
- The Sudbury tulip (2 lip) festival is in full swing. If you want your street repaired or your building permit approved bring your tulips (2 lips) to a planning meeting......just place them at the rear.
