Third year Day 51 - Sunday February 2, 2014

Ground Hog Day!  Bridgett always remembers this day and loves the watch Ground Hog Day with Bill Murray.  She is always quoting from this and other movies (although now she can't always remember which movie she is quoting from!)  One of her favorite quotes is when Bill Murray is "teaching" the ground hog to drive and says "side of your eye, side of your eye."  Anyway, in honor of the day, and the movie, I am placing some quotes from the movie below.  Remember any of these
quotes from the Bill Murray 1993 classic – Groundhog Day?

1. You wanna throw up here, or you wanna throw up in the car? I think… both.
2. Do you ever have déjà vu, Mrs. Lancaster? I don’t think so, but I could check with the kitchen.
3. It’s the same thing your whole life: “Clean up your room. Stand up straight. Pick up your feet. Take it like a man. Be nice to your sister. Don’t mix beer and wine, ever.” Oh yeah: “Don’t drive on the railroad track.” Well, Phil, that’s one I happen to agree with.
4. Come on, *all* the long distance lines are down? What about the satellite? Is it snowing in space? Don’t you have some kind of a line that you keep open for emergencies or for celebrities? I’m both. I’m a celebrity in an emergency.
5. This is one time where television really fails to capture the true excitement of a large squirrel predicting the weather.
6. This is pitiful. A thousand people freezing their butts off waiting to worship a rat. What a hype. Groundhog Day used to mean something in this town. They used to pull the hog out, and they used to eat it. You’re hypocrites, all of you!
7. He… might be okay. [the truck explodes in a fireball] Well, no. Probably not now.
8. If you gotta shoot, aim high. I don’t wanna hit the groundhog.
9. You want a prediction about the weather, you’re asking the wrong Phil. I’ll give you a winter prediction: It’s gonna be cold, it’s gonna be grey, and it’s gonna last you for the rest of your life.
10. What would you do if you were stuck in one place and every day was exactly the same, and nothing that you did mattered?
    Ralph: That about sums it up for me.
11. Not bad… Mr. Connors, you say this is your first lesson? Phil: Yes, but my father was a piano *mover*, so…

HaHa.  Anyway, I woke up and the roads are pretty clear, so we hopped in the car and took off, after saying a teary goodbye to Stephany.  This is the first time she has not gone with us.  It's just too hard of a trip on her and since its hardly been any time since the last trip, she can't really make it.  The worse roads were between our house and Polson, where it was snowing and snow packed.  After that, things cleared up and were actually pretty good the rest of the way.  We stopped in Dillon for gas and then Bridgett made it all the way from there to Provo without stopping!  This has NEVER happened since her wreck.  However, she began to have neck pain about 90 minutes out and the pain got pretty severe.  She put on the neck brace and took pain killers.  I wanted her to get out and walk, but she just wanted to get to Provo and get out then.  In retrospect, I should have insisted that she get out and walk and didn't; but, now I know better for next time.  I got checked into the hotel and met Arriane there.  We put Bridgett in the hotel wheelchair in order to get her up to the room and then got her on the bed on the heating pad.  She was really in agony!  We had wanted to stop and see Scott, but of course, that was out of the question with Bridgett's neck pain.  She finally was able to relax and the pain moderated enough to actually fall asleep.  She woke up in the night for pain killers as well.
