    So, the other day the wife and I were driving down a back road when she saw something white by the side of the road.
    "Look! an otter!"
    So I looked. But what I saw wasn't an otter, it was an albino groundhog!

    Now as everyone knows the albino groundhog is a rare and mythical creature that only appears on rare occasions, as a herald of sorts.
    I'm assuming this means that some great and wondrous occurrence is about to come to pass.

    Here's one that appeared right before the laying of the transatlantic cable in 1858.

    Other times appearances have occurred are at battle of Marathon in 490 BC, the invention of the pencil in 1560, and the great Boston molasses flood of 1919.

    I can't wait.

    Good photography for 1858. They should have tried for a selfie with it.

    When I see the albino Orison it will be a sign that Wisconsin becomes a legal cannabis state.

    That groundhog's hair is white because it saw something that scared the shit out of it. So yeah, it's a portent of something to come alright--something scarier than hell. The good news is that it takes a while for hair to turn white from shock, so whatever it was that caused the hair of the groundhog you saw to turn white was long gone at the time of your sighting.
