So, think free and puzzle:

And a little late, but close enough, the word of the Day: Grumbletonian

Ah right. The rodent weather forecast:

Once again, the eyes of the nation have turned here to this… tiny village in western Pennsylvania. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. There is no way this winter is ever going to end, as long as this groundhog keeps seeing his shadow. I don’t see any other way out. He’s got to be stopped. And I have to stop him.

We’ve got the Vancouver Island marmot, which is endangered. I’ve never seen one although I’ve fed a hoary marmot anemone heads on the mainland.

It certainly seems like everything is submerged around here after the deluge on Friday. Lots and lots of flooding.

Also it’s a palindrome day : 02022020

Best quote from the film IMO:

Groundhog Day used to mean something in this town. They used to pull the hog out, and they used to eat it. You’re hypocrites, all of you!

This one’s confusing:

  • Wear Red Day
  • Work Naked Day

Would you make up your mind, day calendar?

  • Wave All Your Fingers At Your Neighbour Day

Unless you really don’t like the neighbour. Then a one-finger wave may be sufficient.

  • Send A Card To A Friend Day
  • Ballet Day

I’ll just go with a ballet dancer wearing something red:
