A year later and still the virus is around amid other things. Inflation, anger, and cancelling of people and ideas. Still things remain the same people living life as best as possible with jobs, kids, marriages and of course birthdays.
Birthdays on off all things during a pandemic but with a twist it is also national Ground Swine Day! Well to some it’s groundhog but to others just a day of getting older like my sister.
Ground hog day isn’t about a stupid movie with Bill Murray. To some it’s about if there will be six more weeks of winter. Well Duh! Of course, there will be because winter isn’t officially over till march 20th or 21st depending on the leaping year.
Count up the weeks at least six more weeks well plus a few days.
This hog day was probably a story of how to tell the weather as recounted by some old wise ndn. I believe I have written about this before? Hmmm.
Ok on with this again. Now I ask you why on Gods’ green earth would the Groundhog be a better forecaster of the weather?
Why would he care about seeing his shadow? If it’s cold outside, wouldn’t you stay inside?
I do and the wife has to practically drag me out of bed to get wood from outside. So, she won’t freeze well me too!
Why wouldn’t the animal be the same and say its’ cold I ain’t going out there. Shadow or now shadow. Maybe he thinks I hope them white people in those funny stove pipe hats don’t come around again. Why do they jerk me out from my warm den out into the cold? These are very weird people these white ones.
Anyway, it must be true about the groundswine predicating the weather. Afterall, why would the white man lie to the ndn again?
God forbid the ndn tell the white man or any other race a lie about a weather forecasting ground hog.
We know after all it’s really the Squirrel that is the real deal? Right?
