Is this you or yours?

Sept. 29, 2018

An unusual document found on the Post Office bulletin board:

"Is this you or yours?
Take me home.
I was found in a frame in a
garage sale."

This almost sounds like the lyrics to a country-western song.

Unexpected traffic signal light

Sept. 26, 2018

There is no automatic traffic signal light as of yet in downtown McCleary, but just across the freeway there sits a very long light at a construction site on the Mox Chehalis Road, in the area of Sine.

If it happens in the woods, it can happen in McCleary city limits

A forensic look at this brings me to the conclusion that a large bird of prey probably took off with one the squirrels in my yard, or possibly one of the wild rabbits. I've seen owls, eagles, hawks, and falcons fly through here over the years.

There have been coyote and cougar sightings reported from residential neighborhoods in the last few months. A few years ago I saw a huge porcupine sauntering down a city street.

One animal I used to see a lot around here but not much anymore-- the possum.

Let's not get started on raccoons.

Steampunk Sax

Sept. 9, 2018.

Jay Larson occasionally can be seen playing his saxophone at the NW corner of the VFW Hall usually to an audience numbering zero. He's at it just for fun, no hat on the sidewalk waiting for the coin of the realm.

And, he's really good.

His saxophone was rescued from a junkyard in Wyoming and has obviously been brought back to life with loving care, giving it a really wonderful steampunk appearance.
