Fox
I wonder if — having been unceremoniously kicked out of my gym by rude electrical workers who claimed I was breaking the rules by ignoring the nonexistant ‘Keep Out’ signs — seeing a profoundly decayed corpse of a fox on a sand bank in Cherry Creek while Sweet’s Fox on the Run was…

Dead eccentrics
Oh, man! Laura Thorpe is dead! Evidently she choked on her vomit while having a seizure in her bed in 1996. She’s now the second of two eccentric people I reported on in Farmington who died not long after I moved. I didn’t know. Thorpe was the woman who in 1992 sliced open…
