my favorite part of the steamboat daily newspaper is "the record"- a detailed list of the police, fire & ambulance calls on each day. living in such a small town, the silliest things seem to happen. when i started working for yvcf & reading the paper daily, i began cutting out my favorite ones. my collection is a small stack now, and perhaps i will share more of them with you.

this one, from yesterday's paper, may be my new all time favorite:

may 19. 10:23pm. "Police were called to a report of a bear in the 1500 block of Mark Twain Lane, where a bear aparently broke into a house through a screen window while the homeowners were away. The bear reportedly ate brownies, powdered sugar & honey from a bear-shaped honey bottle. The bear was gone by the time the homeowners returned."
