One of the woodchucks I take care of is going to be on Fox25 news tomorrow, for Groundhog day. (With one of our Teacher/Naturalist's, Pat--as in "Pat's Chickens," for those who know what that means.)
I'm glad you added the extra pic of the Grounghog, cuz the small icon kinda looks like your squeezing it into submission in a battle royal! 'Urbpan vs. Ground hog in a world class match!' The pics are great though! I am totally down with the ground hog and his shadow thing! BTW, must be fun to be a keeper for a larger rodent like a ground hog, eh?
While I was going through a transaction at the bank today, the following took place.
1st Teller: So Groundhog Day is coming up on...is it the 1st or the 2nd? (Two calenders are clearly in her line of sight.)
2nd Teller: The 2nd.
1st Teller: Are you sure?
2nd Teller: Yes.
1st Teller: No. It has to be the first.
Me: Why would she lie about that? Groundhog Day is February 2nd.
1st Teller: (annoyed) Oh, it is not!
Me: Not to be rude, but why don't you look at the calendar right in front of you if you don't believe us?
At this point she clams up, and the 2nd teller finishes cashing my check in silence. Then as I turn to leave...
1st Teller: I always wondered how they got the prediction from the groundhogs. Do scientists study them all year? And what if they NEVER come out? Do we go from winter right into summer?
I turned around in amazement. She was dead serious.

Date: 2006-02-01 11:01 pm (UTC)for the icon pic it looks to me like you were trying to give it a prostate exam or something - from the look on its face.
