Happy Ground Hog Day - Feb 2nd!

I just wanted to tell everyone happy Ground Hog Day! For those of you who are un-aware of what "Ground Hog Day" entails, I'll give a brief synopsys.

On February 2nd every year, Punxsutawney Phil (a ground hog) - in Punxsutawney PA - is brought out to celebrate one of America's richest traditions - even though it has European Roots - Groundhog .org - Groundhog Day History . 1000's of people flood the small town in ambition of the days festivities. At roughly 7AM on Feb 2nd the Mayor of Punxsutawney brings out Phil of his "cage"/hole in the log to read a prediction on how many more weeks of winter we will have. The rest of the day is celebration and party!

For those of you who are interested : Groundhog .org - the Official Site of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club

Just thought I'd toss that out. Only a few hours remain until we find out if Spring will come early this year!

Have a great weekend and also a great SUPERBOWL Sunday!

And "No!, unfortunately I have never been to or even around Punxsutawney PA..."
