Is it the time-traveler effect or it is just that someone picked up the good old-fashioned modern telephone?
I noticed the television listing for that 1993 film "Groundhog Day" about a half-hour before it began on one of the channel 4 air broadcast antenna channels at 11 PM locally in the Seattle area, which was followed by the final episode of the original television series "The Outer Limits" from 16 January 1965 titled "The Probe" and I thought about the woman, who was trying to get to Tokyo for her wedding, was "interesting" when I think back to my recent reports about the Mars probes from the late 1990's and 2000's.
I had seen "Groundhog Day" listed several days earlier although I cannot recall the precise day and I wanted to watch it then but I forgot about it and did not watch it. I saw it listed tonight and decided to watch it. I think I referenced it in my blog the last time I watched it on television, a few years ago, but I cannot recall and I haven't tried to look it up.
Several months ago, or maybe a couple years ago, I gave some serious thought to the possibility of living through such an ordeal, in terms of something that would happen to me in the future relative to that present time. I hope yesterday doesn't repeat on me. No particular reason I just hated yesterday because I have such a hard time sleeping. I already hate today. Some days are better than others and I guess that the only way I can sleep is to get so exhausted that I sleep out of fatigue. I used to go, ten years ago or so, and beat myself into the ground by running and bicycling in the hopes that I would sleep well later that night but that never worked.

Groundhog Day
Up in the Pacific Northwest, they'll have some very tall trees.
It will be clear across the Rockies and the Great Plains.
But look out, here comes trouble.
Oh, boy! Front coming our way. Look out.
What will that mean to us In the Three Rivers area?
One of these big blue things! This cold, frigid, Arctic air.
This big mass out of the north.
It will meet up with all this moisture coming out of the Gulf...
mix together at high altitudes and cause some snow.
It won't hit us here in Pittsburgh. It will push off and hit Altoona.
Close call.
Let's take a look at the five-day.
Nothing to be too scared about.
Bundle up warm, but leave your galoshes at home.
I won't be here for the 10:00.
Tomorrow is Groundhog Day, and I'm going out to Punxsutawney...
for our country's oldest groundhog festival.
According to the legend, tomorrow, February 2...
If the groundhog sees his shadow, we'll have six more weeks of winter.
- Keep your fingers crossed.

That's him.
He was a really great guy.
I really liked him a lot.
I'm sorry. What was that again?

It's hard down there at the bottom.
- Here you go - Thank you.
Come on, Dad! Come on, Pop!
Breathe, Pop!
When Chekhov saw the long winter...
he saw a winter bleak and dark and bereft of hope.
Yet we know that winter is just another step in the cycle of life.
But standing here among the people of Punxsutawney...
and basking in the warmth of their hearths and hearts...
I couldn't imagine a better fate...
than a long and lustrous winter.
From Punxsutawney, It's Phil Connors.
So long.
Very nice speech, Phil.
- Thank you. - Thanks.
- How was that for you two? - Man, you touched me.
- Thanks, Larry. - Thank you.
I gotta go

Badly damaged missile cruiser out of action
Houston Chronicle News Services
TUE 02/19/1991 HOUSTON CHRONICLE
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - The missile cruiser USS Princeton, badly damaged by a mine in the northern Persian Gulf, has been pulled out of action and sent to a gulf port for assessment, U.S. military officials said today.
Discussing the mine blasts that damaged the U.S. warships, he said what was apparently an unusually sophisticated mine damaged the rudder and rudder shaft of the billion-dollar Princeton. The blast injured three crewmen and lifted the vessel party out of the water.
The USS Tripoli, meanwhile, remained on duty after patching a 16-by-20-foot hole in its hull blown by a cruder mine 2 1/2 hours earlier and 10 miles away.
Neal said no minesweepers had cleared the area where the explosions occurred because it was believed to have been relatively free of mines. He said the allies would "continue an aggressive countermine campaign."
The two explosions appeared to jeopardize any plans for an amphibious landing by the Marine task force positioned off the Kuwait coast - at least in the area where the ships were operating.
The Tripoli, an 18,000-ton helicopter assault carrier, is serving as flagship for a newly mounted mine-clearing operation in the area. The 2-year-old Princeton had been on anti-aircraft surveillance duty.
There were varying reports on the extent of damage to the 570-foot Princeton.
Military officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said there was one report that the hull was damaged in the middle, with cracks in the superstructure above the main deck.
They did not say to which gulf port the Princeton had headed for repairs.
A dozen mine sweepers from the U.S., Saudi and European navies are at work to clear out the thousands of mines the Iraqis are believed to have sown in coastal waters to deter any landing by the 15,000 Marines stationed aboard about 30 ships in the gulf.
The Marines are prepared to strike at Kuwaiti beaches by helicopter and assault boat as part of the anticipated ground offensive.
U.S. officials, however, were worried by the explosions, especially because the Princeton appeared to have been damaged by a so-called "influence mine" - a device the Iraqis were known to possess but had never before used.

You are sharp as a tack today.
Do you have life insurance? if you do, you could always use more.
Right? Who couldn't?

Once again, the eyes of the nation have turned here to this...
tiny village in western Pennsylvania.
There is no way that this winter...
