Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for February 02, 2023

I’m definitely going to show my friend this! She’s never far away from her phone and it’s her birthday today. I asked her yesterday if she was coming out to see her shadow.

There’s something Strangelovian about this.

Hope he doesn’t do a Bill Murray Groundhog Day movie moment.

Soon he won’t leave (or even come out of) his hole without it.

just ended 6 more weeks of winter

Screen is easiest to read in the burrow, so why ever come out?

Me and my shadow, down the burrow we go!

Happy Groundhog Day, everyone! :-)

I wanna know why he likes to hog the ground so much.

the groundhog shadow thing makes no sense to me… even less sense than most weather omens

Will there be six more weeks of winter?

The Shadow knows.

Punxsutawney Phil is reported to have predicted six more weeks of winter today, but Staten Island Chuck is going for an early spring. Believe whom you want to.

who called and woke him up?

He must be checking out Joe Burrow’s Facebook page.

checking lumber prices?

Does a grounghog even look for his/her shadow?…

Seems like turning around w/b better, so the screen is shaded by itself from the sun; with the sun behind your back, I doubt you’ll block enough light to read it…
