So many folks try to ride Punxsutawney Phil's furry coattails to fame. I'm surprised Cindy Sheehan wasn't there:
The National Environmental Trust said its groundhog-suit-wearing human "will ignore his shadow and will instead rely on global warming evidence to forecast an early spring."
The American Physiological Society was offering experts to discuss "What Punxsutawney Phil can teach us about surviving massive blood loss, preventing muscle atrophy, and more."
The Pennsylvania Lottery even has Gus, "the second most famous groundhog in Pennsylvania," who implores lottery players to "keep on scratchin'."
Phil is too focused and professional to notice others trying to bask in his reflected glory.
Phil saw his shadow.
Looking closer, I think I do see Cindy in the crowd, right under Phil's chin. Let's magnify that section of the photo:
Who is Punxsutawney Phil and why is he stealing all my attention?
