A very nice-looking marmot or woodchuck seems to have taken up residence in my back yard.

(No, this isn’t it, but it looks very much like this.)

It does like to stand up on its hind legs like a prairie dog, and seems quite frisky.

Is it considered a bad omen if the groundhog **dies** before predicting the end of winter? Will it now be winter forever? And if so, did Fred la Marmotte unwittingly solve global warming for us all? 🤔🤔🤔
