Raven sent the producers out to see if McDonald’s would have his own made-up secret menu item…Spoiler alert, they did not. But it didn’t stop them from making it anyways! How did Raven’s El Diablo Double Chicken sandwich end up tasting?

Wellness Wednesday: Sleep Like it’s 1600
If you can never seem to get that elusive “7-9” hours of sleep a night, it’s probably not your fault. The truth is that the lightbulb changed the way humans sleep and if you are only clocking in four or five hours, it’s because you’re old school-and it may be better for you. Catch up with the Wellness Wednesday podcast.

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: If you’re not making the 6 hour drive to Punxsutawney for Groundhog Day here’s how you can celebrate in CT
I have always wanted to make the big 6-hour drive from Connecticut to Punxsutawney, PA to Gobbler’s Knob and witness Phil coming out to see his shadow live. The problem is it’s always a weekday. 2024 it’s a Friday and the next time it falls on a Saturday is 2030. So maybe one of those years I’ll go!
But in the meantime here is where you can celebrate Groundhog Day in Connecticut tomorrow:
Connecticut’s groundhog, Chuckles XI, will be making its 2022 prediction from the Lutz Children’s Museum in Manchester starting at 6:30 a.m. You can watch it livestreamed on the museum’s Facebook page. The museum will also be open later in the day if you want to celebrate the groundhog.
Also, Lyman Orchards in Middlefield will be hosting a Groundhog Day Storytime event for kids and families at 3:30 p.m.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: What are the rules for the groundhog’s shadow?
Tomorrow (February 2nd) is Groundhog Day. One of my favorite days of the year. Around 7:15am tomorrow morning revelers will gather around Gobbler’s Knob in Punxsutawney, PA to see if Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow or not. You can watch live here.
Every year people are confused over the shadow and what it means for more winter or early spring.
According to the Pennsylvania Dutch superstition for decades now… if the groundhog sees its shadow due to clear weather, it will retreat to its den and winter will persist for six more weeks. BUT… Phil does not see its shadow because of cloudiness, spring will arrive early.
Let’s go NO SHADOW! Need that early spring.
