It’s (Teapot) Tuesday, and there are 8 more days until the spring equinox (your mileage may of course vary, but meteorological winter is already over). Birthdays: Ezra Jack Keats, Douglas Adams, Bobby McFerrin. What fragrance are you wearing?

Today: our annual spring forward poll. As always, answer as many or as few as you like, or just talk about something else. If it’s fall where you live, adjust the questions accordingly.
