Amy's Thought Of The Day...

Well, Happy Groundhogs Day my friends. So as I watched the news this morning...like most groundhogs day the poor groundhog saw his shadow, which indeed does mean 6 more weeks of winter. But my question is this....Since when or why do we rely on some poor scared groundhog ripped out of a whole to tell us what's going to happen with the weather??? I mean...go look at your calendar right now...it tells you when the 1st day of spring will be which is (March 20th) this year...which just happens to be 6 weeks from now. Why scare the hell out of a disgruntled groundhog that doesn't want to come out in a big crowd. So should I go out and ask a Horse if I'm going to win the lottery? or ask a Cat if the summer is going to be really hot? I think not. So why do we all get up to watch the news to see if the poor groundhog saw it's damn shadow..when we already know that spring starts in 6 weeks. Just a thought...
