Yup, there's even a coin for it.

Unfortunately the little rat saw his shadow.

And here I was expecting a USPS package delivery later in the day only to find out they're closed for this national holiday.

That is a good recipe for groundhog... I do prefer it with a teaspoon of cumin though.....and be sure to strip all visible fat. Quite tasty.. Cheers, RickO
