Happy Ground Hog's Day!

Do you suppose the official ground hog is feeling "crabby" on his big day. It is my understanding that just a few years ago the people of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania invested time and money to renovate the ground hog habitat. They created a year-round environment fit for a GH King, and have a staff to maintain it.

So, how might it feel to a comfy ground hog to have hundreds of people gathered around your burrow-home at the crack of dawn to observe you arise for the day? Did the GH architects include a special calendar so that the resident knows the significance of the day? Is the burrow equipped with a special alarm informing the hallowed GH that "the big day has arrived?" Or perhaps the local rabbit helps his buddy ground hog stay on top of his pending event, as suggested in the blog site image at the top.

Although Punxsutawney Phil is a ground hog, I imagine he is feeling a little crabby on this significant GH day. So did he see his shadow? He would if he were in SW Florida!
