How does a groundhog feel just before it begins its long sleep?

Groundhogs enemies are bobcats, foxes, and human beings.
Last I checked with my groundhog he didn't have any superstitions, however, humans who live predominantly in North America have a weather forecasting superstition (or more precisely a myth) about him.
It is believed that the groundhog always comes out of his den on the second of February to ascertain the weather conditions.
If when he pokes his head out of hi den, he sees his shadow (the day is bright & sunny) then it is said he returns to his den because winter has six more weeks of control of the land.
If he does not see his shadow (the day is overcast or the weather inclement) he remains above ground and expects Spring to appear.
This can most likely be traced back to an old British rhyme:
If Candlemas be fair and bright,
Come, Winter, have another flight.
If Candlemas brings clouds and rain,
Go Winter, and come not again.

Is it better to go walking before you eat or after you eat?
For light exercise such as walking, it really shouldn't matter. Being completely starved when walking isn't much fun at all, but assuming you're well energized, walking before isn't going to create any problems. Unless you happen to consume a huge meal, it's unlikely you'll cramp doing something as light as walking, so walking after isn't a problem either. I'm sure some arguments about metabolism and weight loss will be made, but overall, it's just good to be somewhat active, whether or not it's the most perfectly optimum calorie burning activity.
