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?

Yes, there are squirrels in McCleary

Jan. 8, 2017

I have heard it said that there are no squirrels in McCleary. In fact, I would wager there have been more sightings of Sasquatch than squirrels around here during the past decade.

In the last five or six years there is a yard in the southwest part of town that has occasionally harbored a large squirrel. This winter that same yard has not one but two, yes, two squirrels. Here is a photo of one of them-- not exactly a great photo, but hey, this is a flip cellphone. Even so, it is still more detailed and has more clarity than your usual Sasquatch photograph.
