While talking to some friends this past weekend, comments were said such as, "wow, it sure was cold this weekend". Let my clarify what "cold" was...65 degrees. This makes me laugh considering if it was April. we would all be outside in a t-shirt and shorts celebrating a heat wave. This is one of the reasons why I love CNY. Its similar to the gas price situation...did you ever think we'd be saying, "you better hurry down to such and such a place...gas is ONLY $3.99 a gallon"! With the way that prices are going up on everything, its difficult for people to leave the area for recreation and shopping. Sure, you could take a drive to NYC for a shopping trip, but by the time you got there, you wouldn't have any $ to shop. There are events taking place locally this weekend that are close by, which will leave you lots of money to pick up that item you've been searching for.
