best feeling in the whole world

I experience such euphoria today. Cameron crawled across the room deliberately towards me. Hands down- best feeling in the whole world.

Groundhog Day!

With ground hog day being tomorrow. It's important to know who you're looking at for your season forecast. for instance, Ricky has General Beauregard Lee PhD- down in Georgia.
It's important to know how completely backwards this whole seeing of the shadow thing is.
-----If he see's the shadow because it's sunny- means there's more winter.
-----If he does not see his shadow - means that spring is on it's way.
one would think that because he saw his shadow (sun= warmer weather) it would be an early spring.

{correct me if i am wrong but isn't it six of one half dozen of another?}
