I know that's not you punting, but your "Day in the life" post yesterday kinda matches the previous years. That time is generally where posters, myself to a good bit, begin throttling back as the end of winter is near.
Five days ago the models were showing a MECS. Sun wants to come out here. I think that's a depressing reality for the current time. And as stated by you, the models aren't exactly encouraging.
I'm watching baseball practices being had. I'm looking at the schedules. I just bought my season passes for Bland's Park. For me, it's over. I'm sure others are close. The post count may reflect that.
