As i sit here today and look at the 2" of ice on the trees I think you ought to go over there and shoot the damn rat dead, replace it with the robot that never sees his shadow and spring comes early every year. By Peta, you did mean 'People Eating Tasty Animals" didn't you? Local radio show had a Peta chick on that was protesting something in Charlotte. Name was Kayla, used to be Kevin. Typical Peta chick, so damn ugly you would not want to poke them anyway

Nice avatar. Do they go back in if they see their shadow? You guys don't shoot the groundhog. It might screw us up for even more than six weeks. Man I hate snow.

So tomorrow is a pretty big day for Punxatawney, so much that they even have a fair type atmosphere in the park, in the middle of town - getting ready for the big day. I had to drive through there this morning on my way to a rig and snapped a couple pix while stopped at a red light. Thought I would share.







They really love that damn groundhog.

Oh, and, it's cloudy here today, and should be cloudy tomorrow too.

well it seems that even clouds can't keep the little overgrown rat from seeing his shadow. Six more weeks people.

That ground hog sucks, but man they throw one hell of a party out there.

Looks like Phil saw his shadow this morning so it's gonna be 6 more weeks in PA. However, across border in Ohio Buckeye Chuck didnt see his. So here we have what seems to be conflicting weather reports from the resident rodents. Think about this, Spring is just around the corner. Here in SC, by the end of the month it will start warming up a little more. Not that its real bad right now.

I grew up in Cleveland,OH (Browns) I was raised to hate Pittsburgh (steelers). So I am siding with the Buckeye Chuck.. End of winter!!!
