Some years I'm into Groundhog Day, some years not. But in any year it doesn't matter to me if groundhog sees a shadow. The point is that Spring comes sooner or later. Some American Indians had a Dance With Bear day around this time of year. Young Indians would poke a bear out of hibernation. The groggy bear wasn't much of a threat. The Indians were, I imagine, tanked up on some fermented beverage.

My Groundhog Day gift to you is The Waikiki Brass playing "Tijuana Hula."
