SPRING. SPRANG. SPRUNG.
Forget what the groundhog thinks, Spring is in the air!
It's the second week of February and the temp is flirting with 40 degrees outside; that's just about driving-with-the-windows-down weather. As someone who is severely effected by the short, cold days of winter I am beyond giddy! I realize I'm getting ahead of myself and that it will probably dump two feet of snow on us as the temperatures dip into the single digits for all of March, but like Fred Durst says in Limp Bizkit's cover of their favorite George Michael's song, "I gotta have faith".
With that said, as I peer out across the hills of Minnesota where the snow covered grounds have begun to succumb to the green grass beneath it and the birds start to sing their warm weather tune, my heart is filled with joy. For soon it will be sweatshirt and shorts weather. Soon you will be able to roll your windows down as you listen to Joe Rogan on your commute home from work. Soon you will be able to dodge, duck, dip, dive and ...dodge through the Minneapolis streets on your single-speed and sip beer on an outdoor patio.
Hot dang, isn't that exciting?
What really got me jazzed up about the arrival of Spring was the completely random yet completely necessary playing of one of my favorite bands of all time, Maylene and The Sons of Disaster. This music captures the essence of bonfires, walleye fishing and time spent on gravel roads**. If you didn't grow up on a farm, Maylene and The Sons of Disaster is the 30-Day pill that will give you those desired results.
- Take twice daily with Mountain Dew.
- DO operate heavy machinery while using.
- Results ARE typical.
I don't believe it requires any further explanation.
Friends, I give you the official kick-off song of Spring 2017:
Y'all come back now, ya hear?
**This is not the beginning of a pop-country song. Gravel roads are not to be confused with the dirt road, Luke Bryan shit. Real Recognize Real.
