As I was walking to the university today I saw a woman with a bag of poo. Really- I'm not kidding! She was walking her dog and I guess it must have pooed and she cleaned it up. Most people don't do that so that is impressive, and integral with all the melt water everywhere- things get awful mushy awful quick in spring runoff season, and this year is one of the worst I can remember-we had so much snow and then it just got warm all of a sudden one day. Makes it hard to walk on the sidewalks actually, since they are more akin to lakes than sidewalks right now. Unless you're wearing big fat rubber boots. Which I'm not.
