Groundhog Day

so today is the magical day in which rodents everywhere stick their heads out of their holes and look around and then tells whoever picks it up whether it saw its shadow or not...if it sees its shadow we got another six weeks of winter...if not then winter is over now...and my thought is this in Miami when the groundhog comes out of the hole and sees its shadow do you think their upset...thinking 'oh no i have to wear a long T for a lil while...come on they can't be that worried about winter for another 6 weeks...and my thought is that the groundhog in Edmonton must see 4 shadows cuz we have winter here forever...

so i looked it up...how long has groundhog day been around...since the 18th century...only celebrated in canada and the u.s....but its ties are from europe and how a sacred badger would forecast the weather...so sacred badgers aside...we took an idea and said alright we like this let's put our own spin on it...but apparently no could find a badger so they picked the next best thing...a groundhog...i think it would have been better to use a beaver or a squirrel...or even a chihuahua...just for comedy...i don't know where this groundhog thing came from but i want to see a badger...or a bear...

and in other news...Edmonton won it's first day of 2010 and it only took them a month...good work boys...you beat Carolina...

Talk to you tomorrow
