ON A LIGHTER NOTE – Three days ago, Los Alamos Reporter follower Pam Hottle announced that Pojoaque Phil or Phyllis (she wasn’t quite sure which) would announce from Hottle’s front yard today whether or not spring was just around the corner. Hottle said she believed he or she was good at predicting things. However, at 5 a.m. Hottle decided she couldn’t last through another six weeks of winter so she woke him up! Courtesy photos
