Breaking News: Flatiron Freddy — the local, 38-year-old, weather prognosticating, stuffed marmot — was discovered missing from his usual tree stump today. In a surprise twist, Freddy arrived for his annual Groundhog Day appearance via dogsled, and under cloudy skies *failed to see his shadow* (cuz he’s dead), which means six more weeks of February. Happy Friday!
@SunnJax I could have told them the same thing with a lot less fanfare.
@thefalcon Oh, but the pomp and ceremony! C’mon — have *you* ever seen a stuffed marmot on a dogsled? (It was quite bizarre, but fun. )
@SunnJax Haha, well come to think of it that experience has eluded me.
@thefalcon It was a spontaneous decision to bike up the hill to see it this morning, but I thought, “Why not?” Got my fresh air and silliness for the day.
@SunnJax I can just imagine the hilarity that would ensue if a ventriloquist snuck into the crowd.
@thefalcon “I’m not dead!”
@SunnJax a little silliness is a good thing!
