I've been told linking out is a no-no.
I'd do really well in the Artic or somewhere like Norway....
[Edit: FYI, Moab doesn't have ski resorts.... now, mountain bike runs, yah....]
Phil Says Six More Weeks of Winter!
HEAR YE! HEAR YE! HEAR YE!On this Groundhog Day, February 2nd, the year 2005 on Gobbler's Knob, Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, Punxsutawney Phil, King of the Groundhogs, Father of all Marmota, Seer of Seers, Prognosticator of Prognosticators has been summoned by Groundhog President William Cooper. Phil gleefully exited his burrow at 7:31 a.m. to be greeted by his longtime friend and handler, Bill Deeley, who held him high so he could greet the large throng of Faithful Followers. He wished them all a "Happy Groundhog Day." Bill placed him atop the old oak stump where he surveyed his surroundings. He then turned to President William and in Groundhogese directed him to the scroll which reads:
Natural disasters have been a terrible thing; tsunamis,
downpours, floods, landslides, heavy snowstorms, avalanches,
frigid temperatures, sleet and freezing rain.
They all cause much destruction, suffering and pain.When it seems like too much with which to cope;
The coming of spring brings us new hope.
Changing seasons is a wonderful thing.Now it's Groundhog Day and we think of spring.
Will Spring come early or will it come late?It's time for me to prognosticate.
As I study the sun
It's all about fun.
But I'm sorry to say
I see my shadow today.
When my shadow I see,
Six more weeks of winter there will be!Dontcha just love it? :)
Hey, didn't they used to have skiing in Moab? Been awhile since I lived in GJ, so the ole memory might have fadded a touch.
[2mins later] Ahh, NOW I got it!
