Keeping an Eye on the Weather
Groundhog Day is Wednesday. Although it is not a state or federal holiday, I will be taking the day off and tentatively heading to Punxsutawney, PA tomorrow night. The weather might be suggesting otherwise.
Below is the weather predicted for here in New Jersey tomorrow:
Cold with snow, accumulating 1-3 inches; sleet and freezing rain mixed in late in the day. Sleet and freezing rain at night.
This is the weather that will be waiting for us in Punxsutawney:
Sleet and freezing rain in the evening; rain and sleet, some heavy late followed by morning icy mix; cloudy and breezy.
And the weather I can expect on my way back home:
Breezy with snow, accumulating an inch or two; sleet and freezing rain mixed in early in the day.
The weather is going to be rough from the moment I leave until after I arrive back home. The trip round trip will encompass (I always wanted to use that word) almost 600 miles. If the weather turns out to be as predicted, then the trip will be postponed and we will go with Plan B.
Plan B involves being awake at 7:15 AM and sending telepathic messages to Punxsutawney Phil discouraging him from seeing his shadow. I do not know if Plan B will work as I have never had a telepathic conversation with an animal. If you have had a telepatic conversation with a groundhog before then you are invited in joining us in sending a message to Punxsutawney Phil.
About
Ahmnodt Heare is a fictional character running a real campaign. He is an Independent candidate for President of the United States. His views on solving America’s problems is different than the ideas being offered by any Republican or Democratic candidate.
In the upcoming days, he will give a daily account of his political activities, campaigns, and other behind the scene activities like no other candidate ever has.
The purpose of this blog is to showing the absurdity of Ahmnodt Heare’s platform and show that the two major parties are equally absurd (especially at the federal level.)
If you are fed up with the two-party duopoly, then feel free to write in “Ahmnodt Heare” for the office of your choosing.
On Election Day, tell your fellow Americans, “Ahmnodt Heare!”
Ahmnodt Heare for America. Ahmnodt Heare for You.
Ahmnodt Heare for President 
Trip Canceled
The trip to Punxsutawney, PA, which was supposed to leave tonight, has been canceled due to bad weather. The weather isn’t too bad here, but it will be soon. Punxsutawney is experiencing freezing rain and it will continue to freezing rain there until tomorrow afternoon.
My hunch is that if there is going to be falling precipitation, then it will be too dark for Punxsutawney Phil to see his shadow. If he does see his shadow, it will be because of the lights from those TV cameras like in 2009.
If it turns out that it is dark and overcast and the groundhog still sees his shadow, then I will be spending the day calling all of the television networks providing coverage and tell them my intent to boycott their major commercial sponsors. The media prolonging winter just because they can will no longer be tolerated. It is about time we had an early spring, especially with the brutal winter many Americans have experienced.
