Ice Storms Across Heartlands

The end of January 2009 passed through with ice storms across Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Missouri and on eastward, leaving electrical outages along its path. The beginning of February finds us on this first Sunday of the second month of 2009 as we put our energy to publishing this week's OkieLegacy eZine.

Will the ground hog, Punxsutawney Phil, of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, come out and see his shadow?

How many times have you watched that movie on the tellie with Bill Murray playing a weatherman, who travels to Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania to join in the ground hog festivals as he broadcasts his weather predictions for the year over and over again? How many times did he awake to the same day -- over and over until he finally moved on in his life?

Check out these links for the official Ground Hog site and catch the long weekend of activities in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania culminating February 2nd, at Gobblers Knob, at the following website - February 2nd, Ground Hog Day - for a schedule of events, Monday, February 2nd, in Punxsutawney, PA, for the 123rd Trek to Gobbler's Knob for Phil's official prognostication. Phil will predict at daybreak (approx. 7:25 a.m.), gates open at 3:00 a.m.

You will notice over in the right column we have added a few NEW links. One of those is for those who enjoying working crossword puzzles. We found a site that lets us make crosswords of our own to use on this site. We have not activated the crossword puzzle yet. We would like to know if it would be beneficial and would anyone like to see it added to the OkieLegacy eZine site? Thanks for your input!
