The Clock in City Hall

Feb. 8, 2018

The antique clock in McCleary City Hall originally belonged to Henry McCleary and was part of the Henry McCleary Timber Company headquarters. McCleary's HQ stood on the same spot where City Hall is now located, so the clock has resided in the same area before almost all of us in town were born.

Note the more boring modern clock in the background behind the Seahawk decorations.

What is the soda pop's agenda?

Jan. 9, 2017

This sight greeted me this morning as I went shopping at my favorite grocery store. A lone soda pop atop a vending machine.

How did it get up there? What does it see from that lofty pinnacle? Why is it taunting children who cannot reach it? What cruel game is it playing?
