Groundhog Day Countdown

10 Groundhog Day countdown banners

There are quite a few other sites that offer holiday countdown banners and loads of scripts one can use, but several of those won't work on Blogger and while some will work, they conflict with my calendar at the top of the page.

I know one thing for certain, though: No matter how many years I will be blessed to live, I will always think of my online pal Garazon on Groundhog Day.

I might be senile, and not remember his name (or my own), but I'll think of him.

Out of Place

From the now-defunct spoonsisters.com website:

NO D.C. For Me!

I'm surprised Washington, D.C. is rated as high as it is. Up to me, it would have been a negative 60%.

I'm not sure people in Austin would want me moving there, either...I'm a little too conservative for them, I'm sure.  OTOH, I'd help keep it weird.
