Sheila is back in town and currently sacking out in the staff break room at the museum. She is looking to hitch a ride with anyone heading toward Eugene in the next few days. She says she is playing speedy delivery for some of the off-grid folks and needs to get down toward Fresno in […]
Well, Big Paul is looking to hang up half the old operation. He says he’s getting too old to lift Fords out of ditches when the winch won’t do. “Hell, I can barely throw a Prius” he joked. Since his kid won’t likely be coming around to taking up the family business, Paul is looking […]
Many of us around here used to be huge fans of the Red Green show. It even got the the point where some folks referred to each other as the characters, though usually in a decidedly unflattering way. Buster and Stumpy were regularly referred to as “Ol’ Man Sedgewick,” Big Paul usually got called “Uncle […]

Well, some folks did not heed our warnings. Some did. Female cats were glued to windows and doors, yowling all night long to be let out. Toms stayed on laps, grooming themselves with a detached coolness, yet every little noise from beyond the walls startled them to alertness. In the dark, a sinister shadow passed […]
Just a heads up. Anyone living in town that was at the disastrous Amundsen’s Inaugural Thanksgiving Bash is on notice. Rumplestiltzkat has escaped. That’s right. Everyone’s most loathed Demon-in-a-Fur-Coat stalks the streets, seeking vengeance on the living and the dead alike. I never believed in Hell until I met this cat, at which point I […]
Everyone was a little surprised this afternoon to see a shuttle bus loaded with foreign tourists roll up to the Natural History Museum. With a few calls, the museum director was able to round up five people that spoke two other languages each. That is eleven languages in all! It’s is sometimes surprising to consider […]
As summer drags on, every small town confronts the most critical threat to peace and quiet: bored teenagers. However, between the badgers and that game, things have been pretty low key.
