Default "It's Groundhog Day.. again.."

In a rare stunner, Punxatawney Phil DID NOT see his shadow this morning "in this little tiny hamlet in Western Pennsylvania"... Early spring kids...



The film Groundhog Day is one of my absolute favorites. A brilliant Murray and deep supporting cast, handled deftly by Harold Ramis, makes it wonderful and easy to watch over and over...

"Too early for flapjacks?"

"What about the satellites? Is it snowing in space?"

"If you're going to eat steak.. get sharper teeth.."

If I had been Bill Murray in Groundhog Day, I'd be 71 years old by the end of the movie...

Ned Ryerson, got the shingles real bad senior year, almost didn't graduate? Bing, again. Ned Ryerson, I dated your sister Mary Pat a couple of times until you told me not to anymore? Well?"

I actually don't believe in it. I think the earth has warmed and cooled at different rates over the past 1000 years. Right now we may be warming a bit, but it could go the other direction quite easily. I think human responsibility for the current warming might be 5%. Not much at all.

I love the movie, too.

Now this is kinda weird. My newspaper this morning, the Harrisburg Patriot News, ran the exact same Comics pages today as last Friday. And the Cyberquote, Jumble and Crossword puzzles were repeats, too. Is it a blunder, or is someone at the paper trying for the Grondhog Day effect?!

Worst of all, I'm not sure if the beavers are going make it in Mark Trail! Okay, I know they are going to stay, but still...
