In Arco Times, 'bout every week,
they let us peek
at some place rare.
'Guess where! Guess where!'
This week's a stony creek bank scene:
a big rock--queen
of shoreline. Round--
an ancient mound?
I'll take a guess: old Cripple Creek.
There's fish to seek.
Or bring a chair,
enjoy the air.

"89 Years Straight, then . . . . "
war, scandal, earthquake
couldn't stop the World Series
but players' strike did

"Also Gauguin"
"One hell
of a haul," he
said, describing an art
heist of Picasso, Matisse and
Monet.

"Keep it Down Out There!"
or"Can't a Fellow get Some Sleep Around Here?"
Sticking
it's head out from
inside the bird feeder,
a raccoon glares at the feeding
nuthatch.
