Who Are You Calling A Marmot???
February 2nd, 2012For well over 100 years, a furry creature generally accustomed to being hailed with a shotgun rises up from a dreamy long winter’s night of earthy sleep for 15 or so minutes of fame.
Ahh, Groundhog Day! Answering that age-old question, “who has more fun than people?” Only we uber-sentient primates willingly and with full confidence use a rodent, yes, rodent, once a year to forecast the weather. I know, I know, rodents prove to be just about as good as those highly-paid TV prognosticators, but still, it seems a little… shall we say… squirrely.
So enjoy the “holiday” (do government workers really get off for this?), with the fond hope that you don’t wake up on the same day tomorrow! All thanks to “genus marmota”!
