Poor ol’ Phil isn’t what he once was... just a mere shadow of himself...

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sure glad he saw his shadow.

Means 6 weeks left...

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

If he hadn’t seen it there would have been 42 days left.

I am not much on these ‘traditions’ I certainly hope that P DT goes so far as to NOT pardon the Thanksgiving Turkey.

Invite him to dinner BUT make sure he is the center of attention.....

With popcorn stuffing.....

LOL! Husband and I were talking about this after seeing Phil this morning. There are *always* six more weeks of Winter after Feb.2.

(What does Phil mean by ‘Spring’?)

Six weeks, or half a dozen?

What difference does it make?

What he actually said was: "Let Me Sleep!".

In related news, Hillary Clinton shook off a hangover long enough to poke her head out, and saw her shadow.

Four more years of President Trump.

Been a pretty mild winter so far. Maybe an early spring after all.

One interesting sidelight of GHog Day is it’s also my birthday. I’m now 55.
The movie was actually filmed in Illinois as one town there had what they thought was a better town center. In the real Punxsawtawney, there are little groundhog statues—mail carrier (post office), firefighter, Statue of Liberty etc.

And oh watch that step it’s a doozy!

Love that movie. I’ve read that the writer originally intended to show that Phil was as reliving the day for thousands of years. He eventually kept track of time by reading one page a day in the library, starting at one end and eventually making it all the way through.
