In Savannah February is the "end" of winter! Days get progressively longer...and warmer...and the plants, libidos, and anxieties all spring to life.
People are "sharper" with each other once February "schools" them on their own anxieties. Anger, like lust, springs up quicker and more often.
The prophecies of Ground Hog's Day are gone; the niceties of Valentine's Day disappear.
This year in particular is: one of the warmest ever (month to month), plagued with the ridiculousness of Donald Trump et al running for President, and ensconced in "bubbling controversies": how did Scalia die, really?; do "black lives" really matter?; is government totally corrupt?; do we care, or is it time to abandon everything and leave for some "lost place" to quietly live out our lives?
