portrait of the american weatherman

groundhog day.

yep, that's today. 

supposedly we are going to get an early spring, but 86% of the time they predict six more weeks of winter, and 39% of the time they're right.

i know that it's terrible to always be harping on the weather man, but

is it just our country that seems to have such a hard time predicting the weather? 

and is that why the symbol of our spring predictions is a groundhog? 

just wondering. 

And I'm kind of wishing that I lived in Pennsylvania 

so I could participate in some Fersommling.

I would surely give a speech on why are these little things called groundhogs? 

how demeaning! 

they dont even look like hogs!

except since I don't speak German, I would probably be penalized. 

oh well. 

did you know that a groundhog is also known as a woodchuck? 

and now you can't stop that tongue twister from going on repeat in your head, 

can you? 

just a little celebration gift from me to you.

you're welcome:)
