Happy Black History Month, Again
Posted by livininsanity on February 2, 2011
I’d say Happy Groundhog Day, but it just doesn’t feel right stealing Black History’s thunder on just the second day of the month. But, now that I’ve said Happy Black History Month, Happy Groundhog Day. P. Phil – the groundhog – looked around and based on the direction he gazed, in correlation with the location of the sun and his body, it has been determined that we will have an early spring.
An early spring. I guess that means March won’t have the record cold weather that December was known for? If spring comes early, does that mean the shorter winter will be harsher? I mean, I merely happened to be paying a bit of attention to the entire country gettting hit by an avalanche of snow and ice the past 24 hours.
I won’t even begin to discuss the validity of the notion of an early spring. I’ll continue to assume spring will happily roll along in March. However, should I take cover for the next month as we have another ice age? If you have any thoughts on P. Phil and the superstitions surrounding Groundhog Day, feel free to leave a comment explaining your stance. Although, I’d totally understand if you think it’s a waste of your time.
