Random Commuter Observation

I used to believe that tourons came to Dee Cee in great bus-loads from places like Iowa (state motto: "Gateway to Nebraska"). However, their sudden appearance the instant we have anything like warm weather has persuaded me to abandon that thinking. Nobody can coordinate that timely a co-arrival of spring and sightseers.

Therefore, based on close observation, I've come up with a new theory (which is mine). And goes like this:

When tourons come to Dee Cee, they leave behind large collections of eggs. These are secreted in various nooks and crannies around town, where they lie dormant during the cold winter months. Then, on the first warm day of spring, they burst forth rather like a hatch of mayflies, thus starting the cycle all over again.

Isn't Nature wonderful?

Consider the cherry-blossom trust, a shadowy mainstream-media subsidiary.

I think I heard a violin! At least your tourists don't trot around in oogly ass aloha shirts with speedos and such.
