Is this great or what? My nephew Zach got to announce the players in the middle of the first inning!

You realize, of course, this is really weird. Right?

Guns and Hoses baseball game

McCleary Bear Festival

Guns and Hoses baseball game, where the police and firemen square off at the McCleary Bear Festival. During the game we had the worst lightning storm in recent memory, complete with torrential rain, hail, and thunderbolts directly above. And still they played. No real Grays Harbor County guy is going to be the first to admit they have enough sense to get out of the rain, much less potential lightning strikes.

And that is part of the reason I choose to live here in McCleary. This town, as the masthead of the old McCleary Stimulater newspaper used to declare, is as "Independent as a Hog on Ice." There is no logical reason why this village should be here, yet here we are. Bezango WA 985.

This was, as I recall, the result of a dream. In real life I could care less about baseball.

Even so, this is one of my favorite comix, although it still doesn't come close to Mr. Crawford Raises Herfords, Too-- a work that separates the wheat from the chaff when it comes to reader galactic awareness of life's mysteries.
