Every year it's the same thing, the same annoying symptoms. I know that the fever has hit when I get that first urge to rip my normally rather inoffensive down coat into shreds. Then there are those mornings when I stand despondent in front of my closet for hours, yearning to grab a pair of shorts, but knowing that 45 degree really merits corduryos. Spring fever even affects my literary sensibilities making me leap with murderous intent toward anyone who darea to mention T.S. Ehat and April in one breath...
...England Telephone rather unfairly contributes to the spring fever epidemic.

Actually, it has become kind of a ritual. The alarm goes off. I ecstatically leap--okay, so I blurrily stumble--from my bed and head straight for the phone.

...bacterium involved in the current outbreak appears to be resistant to antibiotics. Because it can remain dormant and is also contagious, health experts fear that as many as 10,000 people could eventually contract the infection, which causes vomiting, diarrhea and fever. While the search goes on for the exact source of the bug, Jewel has shut its suspect dairy and removed all its dairy products from its 217 outlets. Workers at several Chicago-area stores poured thousands of gallons of milk down storm sewers, creating concern that this might allow the bacteria to spread. Jewel cleaned up the potential...
