Stupid groundhog!!!

Well according to that stupid groundhog, there’s going to be six more weeks of winter.  That’s about the dumbest thing I ever heard of, a groundhog seeing his shadow determining if it will be an early spring or not.  The critter has to be pulled out of his hole anyway so what makes them think pulling a groundhog out of his den while he’s sleeping to see if he will cast a shadow or not is a way to tell the weather?

If I was that groundhog, I’d bite them so they would leave me alone so I could go back to sleep.  I can be grumpy if I don’t get enough sleep and if they have to make him come out of his den, then he needs more sleep.  I could see if he comes out on his own early that would be a sign of an early spring or if he comes out late then winter is still around.  But then we wouldn’t know until we already knew.  The way I see it is if it’s still cold, then it’s still winter but if it gets warm then spring is coming early.  What do you think?
