So unless you’ve been living under a rock, or doing a much better job at avoiding the media than I have, you have probably heard that today is Fat Tuesday… er, wait… make that Super Tuesday!

What a glorious day to get up at dawn and investigate the doings of your local rodent population… in this case, the Groundhog!
