Of Colors and Groundhogs

I didn't realize groundhogs were related to chameleons.

The very same King Herman who two months ago was sporting a dark coat that blended perfectly with the thick green grass is now sporting a color equivalent to the light brown post-summer lawn.

And the King didn't even have to change his regal finery - he simply changed the color.

(For those who don't remember, King Herman is the name I gave to the groundhog that lives in the rolling lawn centered in the office complex where I work.)

Think of the money and resources that could be saved if people could change the color tones of their clothing. We could pull last year's reds and browns out of the closet, change them to gold and khaki - and have a fresh new wardrobe.

We would even be one up on King Herman at that point - the King can't send his finery to the dry cleaners.
