by U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas Posted in: We all know the story. On February 2nd, people come from all over to gather and watch a diminutive critter crawl out into the sun. If he sees his shadow? Six more weeks of winter. If he doesn't, spring begins. But we're not talking about a groundhog from a small town in Pennsylvania who can predict the changing of the seasons. We're talking about Bee Cave Bob, an armadillo from Katy, Texas who can predict the changing of the seasons. This is Armadillo Day. The first Armadillo Day took place in 2012 outside of Austin in a town called Bee Cave, which our state legislature officially recognized in 2007 as the honorary location of our planet's geographical western pole.
