As ridiculous as the holiday might seem to me, though, there are things about groundhogs and Groundhog Day that are pretty interesting.
As we strive to be as helpful as possible to those in the fields of taxonomy, indexing, ontology, etc., we are excited to share career opportunities that we find with our readers.
