Groundhog Day turns violent, meaning uncertain

Well, we just had Groundhog Day.  It’s too bad the holiday isn’t anything like the movie.  That would be great if we got to live the same day in a row a few times.  🙂  Anyway, supposedly the groundhog saw his shadow, so we have more winter.  Whatever…

The news on this day should be what it means that a groundhog bit New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg during their ceremony.  Yes, their little festival had violence.  I’ve wondered why groundhogs participate in this stupid tradition, when they should be hibernating.  Well, “Staten Island Chuck” decided to take matters into his own hand… er, mouth.

But now the bigger question remains unanswered — what does this physical violence mean for the rest of the winter?  Does it signal the worst winter ever?  Does it foreshadow our ultimate doom?  What exactly is going to happen now?  I guess time will tell (unless there happens to be a groundhog prediction expert in the crowd)…

wrong weather forecast

I was checking the forecast on The Weather Channel today, because there’s a chance of snow here in Arkansas tomorrow, which is a very rare thing.  They told some nearby high/low temps, for travel purposes, and I noticed something weird — in Memphis, TN, tomorrow, the high is 36 and the low is 39.  Now, I’m no meteorologist (just a humorologist), but it seems like the high should be higher than the low.  Can someone explain what’s going on here?
