Today in Gobblers Knob of Punxsutawney, PA its resident weather prognosticator and most famous groundhog Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow and that means six more weeks of winter. Somehow that seems on brand with this year so far. So I guess we gotta keep bundled up and be ready for more cold weather ahead. Thanks a lot, Phil.
Later today, we will most certainly watch the classic movie Groundhog Day with Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell. It’s only right to do so.
February is Black History Month. It’s also strange that this important celebration falls on the shortest month of the year. People of African heritage have made significant contributions to the world, don’t forget that. Thank you to all whom we honor this month for making the world better for everyone. Some in power would want you to forget that bit of information.
Rumor has it that it’s finally February. January seemed to last entirely too long. With the USA in turmoil, with a horrible president, fires, aircraft crashes, and trade wars with Canada and Mexico, it’s going to be another long month, I fear. Let’s do the best we can, good people.
I’ve been wearing my heart on my sleeve lately. I’m a bleeding heart for justice, peace, and faith. There’s lots of stuff going on that is not fair and lots of people are getting hurt by it in one way or another. This is what happens when you are paying attention and seeing what is going on in the world. Speaking out is needed I think.
Just some commentary on the days events.
I took the picture on the left two years ago. The one on the right was taken today. There is not much different other than less hair and more facial fur.
