Thanks to Mike for this great sidewalk art. Beever is an
English artist who's famous for his art on the pavement

Next up is Groundhog's Day on Thursday February 2nd,
where the groundhog checks out his shadow and lets us
know how much more winter we have to face.

Here is the legend from Jimmy's site:
On February 2nd, the groundhog sticks his head out of
his burrow. If it is a sunny day, the groundhog will see
his shadow. Frightened, he will go back into his burrow,
and there he will nestle for more sleep. Winter will last
six more weeks.

If it is a cloudy day, the groundhog will not see his shadow.
Hungry after a long winter's sleep, the groundhog will
scamper off in search of food. Spring will come early.


My local Groundhog is Jimmy. His site has a song, history,
and the legends here:

This site was recommended by the folks at Jimmys site:
it has sounds, videos, postcards, and humorous stories
(not jokes) about live groundhogs.

On the East Coast its all about Punxsutawney Phil who they
believe is the only true weather forecasting groundhog. The
others are just impostors.

On to the chuckles:

because they want to hear Arnold Schwarzenegger pronounce it."

"International soccer star David Beckham has signed a $250
million deal to play here in L.A. He's very popular. To give
you an idea of how popular he is today an L.A. jury awarded
him a not guilty sentence for any future murders."

There were Five country churches in a small TEXAS town:

The Presbyterian Church, the Baptist Church, the Methodist
Church, the Catholic Church and the Jewish Synagogue.

Each church was overrun with pesky squirrels. One day, the
Presbyterian Church called a meeting to decide what to do
about the squirrels. After much prayer and consideration
they determined that the squirrels were predestined to be
there and they shouldn't interfere with God's divine will..

In The BAPTIST CHURCH the squirrels had taken up
habitation in the baptistery. The deacons met and decided
to put a cover on the baptistery and drown the squirrels in
it. The squirrels escaped somehow and there were twice as
many there the next week.

The Methodist Church got together and decided that they
were not in a position to harm any of God's creation. So,
they humanely trapped the Squirrels and set them free a
few miles outside of town. Three days later, the squirrels
were back.

But -- The Catholic CHURCH came up with the best and
most effective solution. They baptized the squirrels and
then registered them as members of the church. Now they
only see them on Christmas and Easter.

Not much was heard about the Jewish Synagogue, but they
took one squirrel and had a short service with him called
circumcision and they haven't seen a squirrel anywhere on
the property since.
