    Happy Groundhog Day!

    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.

    Nooooo....... the official groundhog that we answer to would be Wiarton Willie of Wiarton Ontario..... the eastern people have to have some claim to fame.....
    Why,driving into a brick wall at 60 miles per hour, would I expect it not to hurt!

    Our groundhog is having a ball + 8 C sunny and no wind, feeling springtime, no winter in sight too, going up to 11 C next week.
    Good too, i have a business fair to do, so from thursday to next week friday i'm doing worky worky, and roundtrip travel 100 miles, so no need for snow or icy roads.
    Had that once after the fair driving back with van and trailer, not funny....snow and icy roads, skidding home all the way..

    Staten Island Chuck went hungry this year without Bloomberg to chomp on...



    The new guy wasn't taking any chances as you can see...

    Chuck didn't bite the new mayor, but he wasn't doling out his forecast without exacting at least a little payment.

    As de Blasio slowly began to hold up the furball for a photo-op, he never quite got a grip.

    Seeing an opportunity in the de Blasio's butterfingers, Chuck leaped the impressive distance between the 6-foot-5 mayor's waist all the way to the ground.

    He landed within his pen, luckily, and the fast reactions of his Staten Island Zoo caregiver kept him from infiltrating the crowd.

    Both Chuck and Phil (you know, that poser in Penna.) say 6 more weeks of winter an early spring. He was right in 2011. A week or so after Groundhog Day, we got to 40-60 and stayed there most of the spring.

    If a groundhog in Pennsylvania is a poser, is one in Canada a hoser?

    Wiarton Willie a hoser? not a chance ......he saw his shadow yesterday and predicted 6 more weeks of winter....mind you that will only apply to the eastern provinces.....because the rallying cry in the 70's and 80's was.... "let those eastern bastards freeze!" 8)
