Punxsutawney Phil

This is one of the first years I've thought about Punxsutawney Phil before Groundhog Day actually got here. Usually it's here, then I see the news, the groundhog and all the guys in top hats, and think, well, there it is!

But today I'm thinking they're getting ready at Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, for the big day, their one and only day in the spotlight. And the poor groundhog has to crawl out of his hole for his one day of fame. Ya ha!

He predicts the weather and this is how we know that winter will eventually expire.
