WHAT EXACTLY IS GROUNDHOG DAY?.......
Groundhog Day is February 2nd of each year. According to American folk tradition, the groundhog leaves the burrow where it has been hibernating, to discover whether cold winter weather will continue. If the groundhog cannot see it's shadow, it remains above ground, ending it's hibernation; But if it's shadow is visible, then six more weeks of cold weather will continue, and the animal returns to it's burrow.
Threats against Phil have been surfacing.
I've heard tell that should Punxsutawney Phil (the plaintiff, I mean Mr. Groundhog) see his shadow, He will be taken down. ...Well that's the word on the street.
Websters definition of groundhog: a small burrowing rodent.
The Cyber definition: an annoying little critter who always reminds us we are going to have more winter.
Websters definition of winter: fourth season; in northern latitudes, period between winter solistice and vernal equinox; any dismal gloomy time.
The Cyber definition: snow, snow and more snow. Much more snow.
Websters definition of snow: frozen vapor which falls in flakes; snowfall; mass of flakes on the ground.
The Cyber definition: The stuff that gives us cabin fever.
It looks like there is no definition for 'cabin fever' in Websters.
Cabin fever is something we catch when we're stuck in the house because we can't go anywhere; Not that we want to go, it's just knowing we can't that makes us looney.
So... let's hope for a beautiful gloomy morning so that rat-boy can't see crap! Shall we?
HAVE A GLORIOUS DAY!!!!-however it comes to us... Blessings! -Missygirl*
