Groundhog Day

Rise and shine campers! Don't forget your booties because it's cold out there today!

You know, we have some strange traditions here in the United States. Where else in the world do people wake up on some random day and wait to see what an animal does when he comes out of his den - this is even more ridiculous with the staged show that goes on up in Gobbler's Knob. I mean come on, how would we ever know what Phil's reaction is with all those people holding him up for the cameras? Anyway, I just find it an odd tradition - but at we got a movie out of it that's pretty quotable. And let's be honest, that's what's really important here.

I'm a bit skeptical of Phil's forecast this year. We just concluded the 10th warmest January in Richmond's history. So if we're going to have more winter, does it mean a mean ice storm is on it's way, or does it mean that more 60-degree days are in our future? Oh well, the mild winter is nice, but I'm looking forward to being in San Diego in about a week where it'll be close to 70 each day!
