Well, I heard that the groundhog saw his shadow and ran back into his little den.  The theory is that if he sees his shadow and is frightened by it and goes back into his den then we will have six more weeks of winter.  I don’t really think it is his shadow that scares the little guy!  Good grief, all of the press and officials and party-goers there gathered around to see him is enough to scare any little critter!  I think we should leave the little guy alone for crying out loud!  We ought to be smart enough to know that if it is a sunny day then anyone would see their shadow and just call it good!  No point in the harassing a poor little groundhog over it!
