By DAVID KINNEY Associated Press Writer

PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. (AP) -- Thousands of winter-weary people
who waited through a rainy night were rewarded this morning:
Groundhog Punxsutawney Phil didn't see his shadow.

That means, according to legend, that spring is just around the corner.

A cheer went up as members of the local Groundhog Day club
made the announcement, shortly after dawn.
If Phil had seen his shadow, it would have meant six more weeks of winter.

It was the same cheery news -- if you believe in such things -
in Lilburn, Ga., where Georgia's groundhog forecaster, Gen. Beauregard
Lee,
also failed to see his shadow. Cloudy skies shadows away when the
9-year-old rodent
came out of his small mansion at 7:34 a.m., said Ruth Letowsky,
a spokeswoman for the Yellow River Game Ranch,
where Gen. Lee lives.

The Groundhog Day tradition is rooted in a German superstition
that if an animal casts a shadow on Feb. 2 --
the Christian holiday of Candlemas -- bad weather is coming.

But in the 110 years since German farmers began the festival in
Punxsutawney, the morning of Feb. 2 has evolved into an elaborate
show of hoodwinkery.

In years past, members of the club voted the night before
whether or not Phil would see his shadow, rain or shine.
Despite overcast skies last year, the club announced the shadow appeared.
They set off fireworks to simulate a sunrise.

This year, club members insisted, they did not decide what Phil's
decision would be until they actually approached his burrow.

An announcement this morning estimated the crowd at just 15,000.
Bad weather and a Groundhog Day in the middle of the week kept
attendance down, but the crowd was full of enthusiasm for Phil.

James Augustine Aloysius Joyce was born on February 2, 1882,
in Rathgar, a fairly prosperous southern suburb of Dublin.

Author of "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man:"

Once upon a time and a very good time it was there was a moocow
coming down along the road and this moocow that was coming down
along the road met a nicens little boy named baby tuckoo

His father told him that story: his father looked at him through a glass:
he had a hairy face.

He was baby tuckoo. The moocow came down the road
where Betty Byrne lived: she sold lemon platt.

O, the wild rose blossoms
On the little green place.

He sang that song. That was his song.

O, the green wothe botheth.

When you wet the bed first it is warm then it gets cold.
His mother put on the oilsheet. That had the queer smell.

In December 1940, James Joyce was taken to the hospital
with severe stomach cramps and was diagnosed as suffering a perforated
duodenal ulcer.
Although an operation was apparently successful, he soon weakened, passed
into a coma,
and died on January 13, just before his fifty-ninth birthday.
He was buried in the Fluntern cemetery above Zurich.
Nora Joyce, out of respect for her husband's lifelong rebellion, refused
the offer of Catholic rites.

A nicens little moocow named
Yvonne.

    A naked lunch is natural to us,
        we eat reality sandwiches.
    But allegories are so much lettuce.
        Don't hide the madness.

( Allen Ginsberg, 1954 )
