Morty Comix # 2483

It was getting really cold, wet, and dark. So Ron, Louise and I raced to film this distribution of Morty Comix # 2483 for the Bezango WA documentary before we all froze to death. The target was the display of the ancient horse-drawn fire engine and the second oldest locomotive in Washington exhibited in McCleary's Beerbower Park. In recent years, this park attraction has been enhanced during the holiday season by festive lights.

Here's a phone photo I took last year of the same site at night. It has a sense of fun and I like it.

So I managed to slip Morty Comix # 2483 into a crack of one of the supporting logs holding up the roof. It used to be this display was out in the open, but sometime in the late 1980s/early 1990s this chain link cage was constructed to protect the relics.  Ron and Louise filmed the whole episode.

After this freezing event we returned to the warm and comfy confines of Steve's Acres of Cats. Ron and Louise conducted another interview with me. Well I hope you come and see me in the movies, then I’ll know that you will plainly see the biggest fool that ever hit the big time, and all I gotta do is act naturally.

It looks like Ron and Louise and I will have at least one more caper in the very near future before their filming is complete.

Bear Fest Kitchen, 1959-2002

A farewell to the original community kitchen used for cooking the bear stew for the McCleary Bear Festival. From 1986 to 1994 I lived in a house where this structure was plainly visible from the living room window of my home.
