This is the time of year when peoples’ spirits are perhaps at their best — that period between Thanksgiving and New Year’s. For all the hustle and bustle there still doesn’t seem to be the angst there usually is when times are just ordinarily busy.

I’m of course referring to the infamous first snow of the season, and the resultant breakout of steering wheel Alzheimer’s.
