Dennis Malloy can't stand drivers who go under the speed limit in the left lane, and it seems to be happening over and over again.

Ground Hog Day is Feb. 2 and on that day, according to folklore, if it's cloudy when a groundhog emerges from its burrow, the spring season will arrive early, some time before the vernal equinox. If it is sunny, however, and the groundhog sees its shadow, it will retreat back into its den, and winter will continue for six more weeks...
