Reply to comment by C4bl3Fl4m3 in How should Punxsutawney Phil die? I’ve had it with that damn rodent! by reddit_mouse
>Wiarton Willie is the name given to a Canadian groundhog who lives in the community of Wiarton in Bruce County, Ontario. Every February 2, on Groundhog Day, Willie takes part in the local Wiarton Willie Festival. His role is to predict whether there will be an early spring. Although the original Wiarton Willie died in 1999, the Wiarton Groundhog Day celebrations continue each year with a successor of the original Willie (except in 1999 and 2021 where, due to the previous Willies' deaths, no groundhog was used), and each successor is also referred to as Wiarton Willie.

If you always expect the opposite of what Phil says, you'd be in pretty good shape.

While that may be true, and the law wants to make others responsible, I do not agree.
Pet peeve of mine, I am a non drinker. So tired of alcohol given as the excuse. What did you think it was going to do, give you super powers? It's going to affect your balance, your mental capacity. You drink and having any issues, it's on you. You chose to drink.
I'm using 'you' as a reference and not specifically meaning you directly.

Phil has died plenty of times. I was going to school in Punxsy back in '87.
It was the 100th anniversary back then.
I pretty sure it wasn't the original Phil.
Side note. That damn critter had better digs than my dorm room. It has this super cool set up in the public library.

>This country is nothing but alcoholics.
This maybe true. When was the last time you went to a social event where alcohol was not prominently displayed/served?
A bar has certain responsibilities. Some of those are by law, others under its licensure and others under its liability policy. These types of cases have been litigated for at least 35 years. When cases have not been settled, the courts have been clear as to the establishment's responsibilities.
This women did not suddenly become drunk. And, given the place and her age, the bar likely knew of her habits.

One suggestion I’d like to make is adding Wilkes-Barre to the quiz. A moderately sized and well known city in the state

Okay! Cool! In that case I suggest maybe Punxsutawney (some world famous eternal marmot lives here but I would hardly call it a "city'), Johnstown (the Johnstown Flood), Williamsport (Home of the Little League world series), and maybe Altoona (railroad history is big here and it is home of the Horseshoe Curve that connects Pittsburgh with Philadelphia by rail).

Suburban sprawl continues unabated... look at Lancaster or Cumberland Counties as examples.

This is a prime example of why donating to non-profit conservation organizations is key to preserving productive farmland. Conservation Districts do some protection of ag lands but their requirements are really strict. For instance, you can have a handful of applicants that are nearly identical but if one is adjacent to an already preserved farm, then that applicant is the most likely to get the preservation dollars. The farm located next to an existing development is least likely to be preserved, even tho its preservation is most likely to keep it from being developed. At the same time, that big paycheck from the developer is hard to turn down. For older farmers, that paycheck funds their retirement.

These folks have been working on wildlife corridors for years. You'd be surprised at some of the partnerships. Audobon and Ducks Unlimited, for instance.

I’ve worked in and around this beautiful building for a decade now, and I still look up every single time I walk into the Rotunda. Absolutely spectacular building - they just don’t make them like this anymore!

Never understood why people think that making their lip/s unnaturally puffy somehow looks attractive. Sure, she had thin lips before (which looked fine imo), but maybe keep the botox injections to a modest level.
