Today, Monday February 2, 2015 was the official day for the world’s most adored, seasonal forecaster, the groundhog. Groundhog Day has come and our furry friend has decided to give us six more weeks of winter. 

Pennsylvania’s most famous groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil appeared from his burrow early this morning where he saw his shadow, thus giving us an additional six weeks of winter. Last year, Phil popped up and showed his shadow again which was what some people called “the final nail in the coffin” marking one of the harshest and longest winters in U.S. history. In many parts of the U.S. the 2014 winter dragged on well into March. 

The annual Groundhog Day predictions have been in practice in American culture since 1887. Groundhog Day originated…

New Laws in Florida for 2015
The New Year brought a few new laws to the state of Florida that affects household smoke detectors and car seats. 

The majority of smoke alarms installed in Florida homes are battery powered. As of January 1, 2015, battery operated smoke alarms can no longer be installed. Florida Building Code is implementing the new law and it requires homeowners without hardwired smoke detectors to install 10-year sealed battery smoke alarms in their homes.

The reason Florida Building Code has cracked down on smoke detector safety is due to the 114 people that were killed in fires last year. Over half of the…
