Maybe he and snad ought to exchange recipes. <br /><br />They are the quickest things when you are hunting them. They stand up next to the hole and when you try and aim at them they are back down the hole.Pastor Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10510081361292855641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30648257.post-26233699695872118832010-02-03T10:34:44.044-08:002010-02-03T10:34:44.044-08:00Is that Bill Murray holding Punxsa?

Doc Watson also recorded a great old song about catching and eating 'em. <br /><br />Because they forage mostly on forest mast that consists of hickory nuts, pine seeds, etc., they have a rich, nutty flavor to them. Their hides, according to Doc, make the best shoelaces, also.<br /><br />This is good information to have - it's been a hard winter, and times are not getting any better, you know. ;-)Snadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04055786911610974637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30648257.post-77527444553983873232010-02-03T08:50:41.616-08:002010-02-03T08:50:41.616-08:00Is that Bill Murray holding Punxsa?Is that Bill Murray holding Punxsa?Jodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15447125159108080797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30648257.post-35361083980710149192010-02-03T06:42:07.231-08:002010-02-03T06:42:07.231-08:00@Bob

February 2nd that year was a Saturday so we were on at the same time. We were on the phone sharing tidbits and I told her about the Punxstawny Phil thing. Except I added that if he does see his shadow they cook him and eat him. <br /><br />Bless her heart. She thought I was telling the truth and told her radio audience the news. <br /><br />She never forgave me.John Shuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00798753206614838161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30648257.post-61010639509383266372010-02-03T06:34:33.040-08:002010-02-03T06:34:33.040-08:00How far are you away from Punxsa whatever?
