And, hey, I'm with you - it always seemed a bit weird for something named the Spring Fling to be over by March 2nd but given that it centers around Valentine's Day, they are locked into having it on or around February 14th, no? 1 Actioneer || Aerobat || Agent Archer || Agent Dare || Amazona || Arbiter Doom || Astrowoman || Atheos || Attache || Aurgelmir || Big League || Blue Weasel || Bomber Girl || Cavalcader || Centenarian || Change Agent || Charade || Chimpanzer || Chorus Girl || Chrono King || Circlet || Cockatrice || Cogsman || Coin-Operative || Cold Spell || Countess Cataclysm || Crackdown || Death Adder || Deathwatch || Devana || Didgeridoo || Dirigible || Doctor Arioch || Doctor Asmodeus || Doctor Epoch || Doctor Typhoon || Duke Dreadsome || Executress || Eye || French Roast || Ghost Gal || Goldsmith || Hellstone || Herculon || Ifrit || Illuminoid || Iron Agent || Jen-X || Junkman || Liberta || Lord of Winter || Maera || Mime || Monument || Namtaru || Newsreel || Overman || Pakhet || Queen Cheetah || Queen Sting || Steve Saturn || Tarnation || Technoid || Teen Thunderbolt || Torch Titan || Xerelerex || Zodiax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luminara Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 I almost pet a wild groundhog about three months ago. It'd snuck into a greenhouse at a farm where I help out. I cornered it and expected it to bolt past me, but it just huddled up and waited. Poked it with a rod to get it moving, because I was trying to trap it on the other side of the greenhouse so I could release it, and it still didn't move. I walked right up to it, my leg brushing against its fur, and, nope, just not moving from that spot. If I hadn't seen what their teeth can do, I would've risked it. Little bastard looked so soft and squishy. Now, I'll happily grab a wild opossum and carry it around, because they're the least aggressive animal I've ever encountered, and they're incredibly soft. Crazy soft. Fur like down. But they don't bite. Those giant rats, though, scary teeth. Yeah. No touchy. Plus, marmots can harbor Yersinia Pestis, and groundhogs are in the marmot family (which is in the Rodentia family, hence the giant rats reference (not to be confused with capybaras, which actually are giant rats (but not closely related to common rats (or lab rats (or the Rat Pack))))), and ain't nobody got time for no plague.

People consult the groundhogs for weather predictions, but marmots also have insight for us. Originally on Infinity.

SeraphimKensai Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I used my ruler on the yard to see how bad it was. The grass was 2.5 inches and still green but my neighbor across the street was wearing a parka while walking her dog (who was wearing some winter dog vest). It's a balmy 63° with a high for 80° today. Maybe if it wasn't so cold, I'd throw my swimming trunks and boogie board into the back to swing by the beach after work. Instead I'll probably hunker down in the house with heat just in case it gets a little more chilly. Our community can all come together in this time for our communal effort to stay warm. Hot cocoa all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
