The correction just in from our ground hog bureau chief in
Punxsutawney, PA.
"If Phil sees his shadow, it means 6 more weeks of winter, and if Phil doesn't see his shadow, it means spring is around the corner. "
February 2, 2007 - around 7:30 am ET - Punxsutawney, PA
Phil did not see his shadow and thus spring is just around the corner!

I look forward to an early Spring. I look forward even more to a heavy rainstorm to wash all the sand and salt off the ****** roads.

First day of spring is scheduled for 3/21/2007 (Spring Equinox). It's always scheduled 6 weeks after Ground Hog day.

The groundhog heard the freight train and headed back down his hole.

So if the movie "Ground Hawg Day" was really true, would there ever be an equinox???? 
I don't think so, perhaps argueably in theory.

Groundhogs, my dogs love them. I guess they taste like chicken  My Siberian Husky thinks the same of cats.
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

Anyone have any groundhog recipes?

Yeah Jack! I got one!
You've got to use a grinder.
The only problem is that whenever I offer my recipe to people and tell 'em it's for ground-round groundhog, they think I stutter. 
I HATE when that happens!

My older brother was great with a bow and arrow, he would whistle and when the little fur ba***** stuck up his head to see what was going on zip right through the neck.

Ok why not a stupid local ground hog name thread?
Ours is Chuckles he is blind and deaf (I'm not kidding).
Resides at the Lutz Childrens Museam In Manchester Ct.
He did not see his shadow either.

just use an oven roaster bag and throw in some taters and carrots and onions, salt/pepper and some beef stock (not a lot). 350 for around 2 hours. tastes like raccoon!
