The question is not, Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?” because the answer to that one would be we all know, thanks to the news.
No. Today, being Groundhog’s Day & all, it just got me to thinking about groundhogs & shadows. In NYC, the groundhog didn’t see his shadow. In PA, he did. It would seem we’re getting a short winter but PA isn’t, if you believe in shadows & all that.
Then there was the story about our mayor, Bloomberg, getting bit when he tried to hold the groundhog. I’m not quite sure why on earth someone decided it would be a good idea for him to hold the thing.
What do they do in warmer states where they don’t really care if winter ends soon or not because there’s no snow on the ground? Do they use groundhogs, too? Maybe they use armadillos and lizards. If you see a lizard chasing it’s tail, it means 6 more weeks of winter and if you see an armadillo waddling towards the east, it means spring is coming sooner.
Hey, neither of those are any less absurd than trusting a groundhog. Just ask Mayor Bloomberg how much he trusts groundhogs now.
completely absurd…I can’t even think of anything else to say about it.
If you see a bunch of armadillos squashed in the road they are slower than normal because of the cold weather….or not.
