A rodent in a Pennsylvania berg indicated this morning that North America is in for an early spring.
That's good news unless you like to ski, skate, or own a lodge on a hill.
However, a local golden retriever predicts just the opposite, as she saw her shadow in Railroad Park at sunrise, meaning we are in for more cold weather.
But the retriever, named Abby, is a pup and hasn't learned all there is to know about prognostication.

Hint: in the lobby of a center on Main Street. The words are so true, as you know, if you have ever dealt with a multinational corporation or federal agency...and remember, "the conversation is being recorded for quality assurance and training purposes."
The answer: In the waiting room of Family Chiropractic Center, i.e. the offices of Dr. Larry Hubbell and Dr. Todd Gillfillan at 108 N. Main. (Monty Siekerman)
