Groundhog Day

groundhog

Okay, this actually happened way back in May, but I just saw the story on-line for the first time today:

Some kids in Bridgeton, N.J., spotted a groundhog in a parking lot and went to have a closer look. Unfortunately, they didn't realize the critter was the world's worst groundhog.

It chased them across a street to where the Bridgeton Little League was playing, and that's when "bedlam broke out." When umpire Brandon Dennis distracted the groundhog away from the youngsters, it went after him. When Bridgeton Little League President T. Carl Hemple tried to intervene, he simply became the psychotic animal's new target.

Police captured the groundhog to test it for rabies — but before the results came back, the creature escaped its cage. Dr. Bill McAloanan, who runs the Hopewell Township clinic, said when he showed up the next morning to take care of the animal, the cage left by the Bridgeton Police Department was empty.

It’s still out there somewhere….
