A fine example of ecochondria

In an amazing revelation based on an old photo, we find that spring in Massachusetts happened to arrive later in 1868 than it did in the year 2005!

The implication is that this is Bad, and it was caused in part by some Australian kid's electric train.

If you're not panicked yet, I challenge you to retain your composure after reading this related tidbit: In Massachusetts, birds are said to be arriving "a couple days earlier" than they did a century ago.
