Hard time to make predictions. Especially about the future. But here's one that's guaranteed -- Spring is looming!
Yeah I know it's winter, and all the birds and half the Chicagoans have gone south. But there are three places where you'll find the evidence. Drug stores! Florist shops! Sport pages! Check 'em out for yourself.
The backroom in your local drug store is already filling up with Valentines, baseball cards. kites, and sunglasses. They know the number of daylight minutes has been ticking up ever since December 22...
The florist around the corner is importing lots more spring flowers, because folks locked inside their homes so want to pretend...
And the sports pages -- well, sure they're talking football/basketball/hockey, but notice the growing number of little sidebars. Oh yes, from the stirring world of baseball. Unlike those other sports, baseball means Spring and Spring means baseball.
Now you too can make a prediction even the economists can't argue over...!
