Happy Groundhog Day. By the way, the word on the street is that Germans who came over to Pennsylvania wanted to use hedgehogs in this mythical are-we-going-to-have -six-more-weeks-of-winter ritual.

By, the way Punxatawney Phil saw his damn shadow. Winter is in full effect, as Londoners will attest.
