Okay, first of all, I am getting very sick of all the downhill championships in Beaver Creek CO because it means most of the alerts I receive are about skiing. And second of all the next time a woman brings a kangaroo into McDonald’s they better not do it in Beaver Dam WI because I have gotten literally a million alerts about that story. Work hazard I guess, but because this recent headline is so clever I’ll share the pain. Believe me this story has been in 60 papers before any copy editor was smart enough to think up that one.
Hoppy Meal: Woman tossed out of McDonald’s after taking ‘therapy’ kangaroo to lunch
The strange situation took place last Friday, but was just reported recently. At 11:41am, Diana Moyer entered a McDonald’s in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, with a baby kangaroo accompanying her. Moyer and her husband, Larry, actually own five kangaroos at their home, according to the Beaver Dam Daily Citizen, and they have been taking the young animal to that same McDonald’s for three months. Moyer told police the kangaroo was a service animal whose use had been approved by a doctor, but the argument did not convince police, who said that customers did not feel safe. Moyer left after this and no tickets were issued.
This is the kind of story they like to blame on California. But not this time.
Third of all I just want to say that the beaver silhouettes made for us from our photos by Libby Corliss are the most useful gift we’ve ever been given. But unfortunately the file is too small and I need a Adobe wizard to make it bigger. If that’s you PLEASE help!
Now as for my beaver negative space project, did you really think I would stop at three?
There’s been such interest in this project that I would consider doing a calendar IF the silhouettes were larger files. They’re too small at the moment to print. But I’m trying to fix that. Wish beavers luck!
