Happy Groundhog Day
This is a picture of "Buckeye Chuck" courtesy of the web site of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
He's Ohio's "official" groundhog. See Groundhog Central here, for a list of more groundhogs of renown--the most famous being "Punxatawney Phil".
More about Buckeye Chuck at Ohio History Central:
Dang. Poor Chuck. I hate it when I have to emerge from my sleep against my will, so I kinda feel for him, you know?
From late September until early April, Buckeye Chuck spends his time hibernating. On February 2, against his will, Chuck emerges from his sleep to predict the weather.
In fact, I need to do that in the morning to go to work, so I'm signing off for now. Have a great day, everyone.
