groundhog day

This is how it went down.
Holly Williams opening for Jason Isbell.  Crowded.  I'm standing by the coats, there is a purse hanging there and I'm considering making the drop.  I overhear some guys nearby talking about how half those coats will still be there tomorrow.  I tell them about the spirit animals and how I stick them in the pockets of unattended coats.  We discuss how it's a friendly thing, a nice surprise, not an old banana peel or something.  I show them the animal.  It's a groundhog.  The guy says, "Why don't you save yourself the trouble and go ahead and stick it here in my pocket."  I say, "Well, are you a groundhog?"  He says, "Every fucking day of my life."

Enjoy your groundhog, Groundhog Guy!
