Ground Hog Day

Looks like today is Ground Hog day and we're all waiting for the hog to come out. Will he see his shadow? Or not? in any case, winter won't be over till March 21 (I think). Let's at least get a bit of snow in here . . . wouldn't it be wonderful to have a nor'easter blow in? Looks like we're going to have 6 more weeks of winter . . .

In other news, drug agents busted a smuggling group that was importing packets of liquid heroin by implanting these into puppies' bellies. How sick is this? Three of the puppies have already died from infection. Not only was this group using animals, but also they were using people who would swallow packets. Arrghh! If people would stop using drugs in this country, then the demand would dry up and we wouldn't be seeing this happening anymore. I've heard that some of the drug money is being funneled to terrorists. Yet another reason to reduce drug usage in this country.

I think I'm not going to have the Norge pullover finished before Winter Olympics starts. But that's okay - as long as I get as much of the body knit up as possible, that will be fine. I'm really looking forward to getting on with the Flyaway Vest - I miss fair isle knitting.
