And on the other side the oh so great smell of the skunk has also arrived. Though not true hibernators, they usually don't surface much in the winter. So on the bright side it does signal that spring is here!!!

NYS Governor Cuomo at one of his many speeches
Common Core State Curriculum
Parent/student protests against Cuomo's policies.
