Now I know it's spring

I've always relied on the mockingbirds to tell me when spring is really here. I was in the parking lot at the bank today--trying to find the end of my seat-belt so I could buckle it and avoid going to prison for an indeterminate sentence--when I heard this terrible ruckus. I looked up to see a feisty mockingbird kicking the crap out of a crow in mid-air. The crow was about ten times the size of the mockingbird. It was a classic battle, like a Saracen on his Arabian pony attacking a crusader on his plough horse. Yep, spring's here for certain.
