    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    You watch too many movies, OM.

    BTW, the word is that the Punxsatawney Phil did NOT see his shadow this morning, therefore, spring is just around the corner.

    Of course, it will take 6 weeks to reach and go around that corner...

    I heard the groundhog can't even get out of his burrow. It's buries under at least 6 feet of snow and hard packed ice.
    I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.

    A wild one? Sure.

    Phil? Nah, they keep him in a special home... he and his family are essentially pets. They only put him in that stump the morning of the 2nd, and after they pull him out, he goes home.

    I don't know what you consider Spring to be, north of the Mason Dixon line but I suspect you'll start seeing a difference over the next 2 weeks. I don't know what General Lee said today but there is a good chance he saw his shadow but was not scared by it.

    Same here. Spring begins about the middle of February in southern California.

    I thought that was the car that starred in the Dukes of Hazard?

    BTW, on an unrelated note, you should see a box in the mail on Friday or Saturday. I had that SWR bridge sitting here in the shack for weeks, finally got it to the post office today.

    YeaY! Fine Business!
    General Lee is the Georgia groundhog for our region. He wears a Confederate uniform as do his handlers.
