Happy Groundhog Day!
February 2 is Groundhog day here in the United States. Here is a link for those not familiar with this event.

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/n...n-winter-text/

Punxsutawney Phil is the name of the groundhog, and supposedly, if he sees his shadow on this day, we have 6 more weeks of winter across the country. Really scientific.

I hear PETA is trying to get him replaced with a robot groundhog.....

The movie was pretty good, also. 'sigh. I miss my sanity.

Same scientists that brought us global warming.

Sanity is overrated.

Also, how is it an ugly oversized rodent can get a holiday, but not the far more deserving ferret?

A woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

Never quite understood this.
2 more weeks of winter: Ain't never gonna happen
6 more weeks of winter: I'd be one happy person if we only got 6 more weeks of winter.

Stupid Phil has seen his shadow for years now. They should switch over to Gus, the second most famous groundhog in Pennsylvania (those in PA know what I'm talking about).

Ahhh, right . . . January 33rd . . . Groundhog Day in Punxsutawney, Pa. My hubby's birthplace. He applied for that job once but couldn't fit in the box . . . no, wait, that was his brother Phil that wanted that job. No, I'm mistaken. He wanted the job of pulling that fat rat out of the box. No, that wasn't it. It was so long ago I can't remember, but he WAS born there.


I'm sure you've all heard about Marmot Day by now . . .

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/wash...ot-alaska.html

Now there's a legacy to be proud of.

Mix of cheers and groans as Wiarton Willie predicts six more weeks of winter

Earlier today, both Nova Scotia's Shubenacadie Sam and Punxsutawney Phil in Pennsylvania also saw their shadows, making it a unanimous forecast.
