Rodent rage

Well it's three to two - seems Old Man Winter is here to stay for a while longer in Canada or at least your friendly (or not-so-much) neighborhood Groundhog says so.

Here in central Ontario, Wiarton Willie failed to visualize his shadow, as did Nova Scotia’s Shubenacadie Sam.

But three others - Alberta’s Balzac Billy, Quebec’s Fred la Marmotte and the lone submission from the other side of the border Punxsutawney Phil - all saw their shadows and ran back inside away from the cold that encompasses us.

Yes, it's been a bit warmer this year than last.  But I don't attribute that to global warming, rather than Mother Nature's admission that we've had several really sucking winters in a row and we deserved a bit of a break this year.

Too bad those damn rodents disagreed.  Here, kitty kitty  . . .
