Spring is coming soon! That's the message I saw when I witnessed by live video stream the presentation of the Groundhog. The February classic, known to Pagans as "Imbolc," is the time for animals to come out of their lairs and start thinking about family matters, or to give birth to little ones. The bewildered beast was surrounded by the Pseudo-Masonic Gentlemen in top hats and frock coats. They brushed the straw and dust off of old Pete and lifted him high, revealing no shadow, confirmed by a little mystic scroll "chosen by Pete" and opened by the Gentleman. You can only spell "Punxsutawney" correctly if you are from Pennsylvania. I am not from Pennsylvania. If I spell it correctly, it means spring is coming soon.
