Groundhog Day has always struck me as one of the few things on this planet that are even more illogical than the English language. If it's nice enough weather that the groundhog sees his shadow, then there's six weeks more of winter, but if it's bad weather, spring is right around the corner?
BTW, has anybody ever asked Punxsutawney Phil what his views are on global warming?
The whole groundhog day thing has been subjected to excruciating analysis and interpretation. Its scientific and socioeconomic significance has been debated for decades. But the one lingering question that has always puzzled me is this:
How much ground would a groundhog hog if a groundhog could hog ground?
I'm glad Phil doesn't live here. Sun, sun, sun...forecast: in the 70s this weekend. Woo-hoo, switch from bourbon to mojitos! It makes up for our summer that wasn't.
New Jersey, Sailing, Food, Family, and anything I think is interesting at the time make up the contents of this blog. Bear with me, I'm still learning.

ReplyDeleteSue, apology accepted. Now what the f**k WAS that person doing that prompted your question?
