It IS cold out there!

*click*

Then put your little hand in mine,
There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb

Babe

I got you babe I got you babe . . .


"Okay, campers, rise and shine, and don't forget your booties 'cause it's cooooold out there today."

"It's coooold out there every day. What is this, Miami Beach?"

"Not hardly. And you know, you can expect hazardous travel later today, what with that, you know, that, uh, that blizzard thing."

"That blizzard . . . thing? Yeah, that blizzard . . . thing. Oh, well, here's the report! The National Weather Service is calling for a 'big blizzard thing!'"

"Yessss, they are. But you know, there's another reason why today is especially exciting."

"Especially cold!"

"Especially cold, okay, but the big question on everybody's lips..."

"On their chapped lips... "

"On their chapped lips, right: Do ya think Phil is gonna come out and see his shadow?

"Punxsutawney Phil!?"

"That's right, woodchuck-chuckers - it's..."

"[in unison] GROUNDHOG DAY!"

Ok . . . so it's not actually Groundhog Day. Ha! Can you imagine repeating a dreary old, run of the mill (Just for you fact fans out there. The mill in question was a weaving mill and the articles first called 'run of the mill' were acutally clothes. An early citation of that comes from an advert by Cook, Taylor & Co. of Lowell, Massachusetts in The Lowell Daily Sun, December 1895, which said: "Seconds and the run of the mill, but for all wearing purposes just the same as firsts at twice the price. Fleeced Jersey Vests in white or Ecru, 2 for 25c." You're welcome Fact Fans) Thursday every day for at least a week. No don't! Don't risk it! The wind might change and it could happen! As we all know Groundhog Day is not until February the 2nd. (hehehe sounds like a King from days of old, 'Yes yes there was William the 1st and then February the 2nd) Sorry! It's just that it IS cold out there today, and for some reason I can't say that phrase without thinking of Groundhog Day.

Hmmm maybe I should of just said it is a bit brisk, fresh, crisp or frigid instead? Would of saved myself a lot of typing! Ahh well wrap up warm and cosy campers!
