Each year, the fatter animal with long teeth is watched by millions as he emerges from a cave in the town he is named after. Phil has become so beloved by the town that he actually lives in the local library with his wife Phyllis。Taking inspiration from the hard state of Bill Murrays character in the classic film, Yahoo contributor Owen Rust says Groundhog Day is a good time to reflect on ones routines。1.
