Spring has sprung.

I don't know how you do it. Everything's lush 24-7 like Miami. No, actually, we had a... We did have some overcast yesterday. We had one of those days yesterday where I couldn't decide if it wanted to rain or not. And I'll tell you, it's a dull vibe in the city when it's gray in Miami. People don't know what to do with themselves.
Yeah, I'm sure. It's supposed to always be sunny and hot and awesome in Miami.
Sunshine State.
