Call it groundhog gone high tech. Georgia’s resident weather prognosticating rodent, Gen. Beauregard Lee, on Monday sent text messages via Twitter as he prepared to exit his lair at the Yellow River Game Ranch and pronounce to the waiting crowd whether there would be six more weeks of winter.
“A crowd gathering outside my house,” Gen. Lee “twittered” at 6:45 a.m.
The groundhog was joined this year by the Gwinnett Braves’ mascot, “Chopper,” who the game ranch referred to as Beau’s “much more athletic cousin.”
As the time for his annual forecast drew closer, Beau twittered, “I have been eating more organically lately, but I think I smell grits!” A few minutes later, he added, “no, it’s hash browns.”

The Yankee ground hog probably never thought about using twitter.
So, Gen. Beauregard Lee has become a new media douchebag too. Nice.
Icarus, I won’t comment on that.
Depend on the groundhog if you will. As for me, I remain skeptical.
Actually I LOVE “ground hog”. In fact the sausage, egg and cheese biscuit is one of my favorites. But those biscuits give me constipation, which is why I try to scope out the “breakfast sandwich” if possible.
