550 KTRS Inside Out Show Plant of the Week Spotlight Saturday January 8th 2011



Happy New Year To All!

Spring Fever Is Contagious!

First Symptoms may include excessive mail checking and random reading in unlikely locations. Also scattered thought/ conversa
tion patterns including excessive blog ramblings have been noted!

This is typically preceding and /or following the arrival of 2011 plant catalogs. Duration / cycle can be as short as 2-3 weeks or a chronic condition can develop. Many industry professionals have had this condition for 5 years or longer with permenent side effects evident when two or more infected persons are allowed to gather.

It is not fatal but can become somewhat debilitating to support relationships. This is due to exhaustive componenet of optomistic attitude and unpredicatable drainage of finances. It is often associated with excessive communication anxiety!

Warning all forms of communication can cause any of the symptoms to escalate! (this includes the many electric forms now available such as any laptop with internet access, mobile phones with smart capabilities / downloadable apps. Any and All communications methods are considered possible "spring fever" carriers!
