We need a new groundhog. Last week, on Groundhog day, the famous groundhog saw his shadow, thus predicting six more weeks of winter weather.
Can we get a new groundhog? I’m interested in an early spring. I’m interested in budding leaves, songbirds, and the smell of fresh spring rain.
I’m not so interested in another month and a half of winter weather. I’m not so fond of scraping the windows on the car in the morning. It makes me miss the train. I’m not so fond of sitting out for long periods of time in sub-freezing weather waiting for the train that I missed because of the frozen windshield.
I’m ready to open the windows and let in the fresh breeze. I’m ready to roll down the car windows while I drive. I’m ready for Spring!!
So, somebody–go fire the groundhog and find us one that will tell us what we really want to hear: spring is on its way.
Maybe John Kerry would like the job. He seems willing to change his position with the public sentiment…

Hey Paul, I think Spring comes earlier in Stockton, California!!! That might be an alternative to getting a new ground hog. What do you think? I like your writing!!

I loved it! Great post! Spring is coming along well here in D.C.

Hmm … as nice as it would be to have an early spring, don’t blame the groundhog. The poor chap’s just trying to his job, it’s not his fault.
But, yeah, John Kerry might do well at that one. Or, these days, maybe you could get Hillary Clinton to do the job: “While we all agree that winter is a serious problem, we must be moderate in our demands for new weather.”

The directors of the firm hired to fix the weather after the groundhog had been sacked, wish it to be known that they have just been sacked. Why did they get sacked? [...]
