All know of the tradition when Punxsutawney Phil, our most beloved rodent, pops out for a visit and tells us if winter will linger. Some folks say that real reason why this day exists is for people to skip work and get hammered, but they have no idea of the skills that our furry friend has. Did you know that Phil is actually a poet? Indeed he is, for our inebriated interpretors tell us so. And this year Phil's prediction was pushing a pro-budding agenda. He fully said:
"El Nino has caused high winds, heavy snow, ice and freezing temperatures in the west.
Here in the East with much mild winter weather we have been blessed.
Global warming has caused a great debate.
This mild winter makes it seem just great.
On this Groundhog Day we think of one thing.
Will we have winter or will we have spring?
On Gobbler's Knob I see no shadow today.
I predict that early spring is on the way."
I wonder how accurate he is.

Maybe we should start worshiping him, he seems to be all knowing, plus a pretty good poet.
that picture makes me giggle. i'm really hoping he's right because i am starting to get sick of not feeling my toes
He came up all of that? That's pretty amazing. I sure hope he's right about the early spring thing, otherwise that's just a cruel joke.
