Re: Groundhog Day
The thing I love about groundhog day..is that it hits at a monotonous and dreary part of the year. A part of the year where any one day looks like the next and the last before that. In order to explain our common experience of this profundity of regional weather, we invent a superstition which states that a rat is in some way accountable for the end (or continuance) of this state of affairs.
That's just...chef's kiss.
When anyone begins to suggest that we're not good at superstition, that we get it wrong (said one or one million ways) - I point them this way.
