Solar Eclipse

Hello Dear Readers,
I usually stay pretty up to date on the happenings in the universe, local and in general.  But things in Kevin's Crossing have kept me so preoccupied lately that I was caught unaware when a relatively large scale event took place in our solar system.  A solar eclipse!  An event where the moon comes between the Earth and the sun, blocking out the sun's light, turning day into night, albeit briefly.  A perfect setting for all sorts of shenanigans to take place!
I found myself completely unprepared to document this event.  When I asked Robyn why she didn't mention it to me, she shrugged and said she thought I was on it.
But I digress, let's go over all the strange happenings reported by the citizens of Kevin's Crossing during the solar eclipse yesterday.  The most exciting of which I will save for last.  The return of someone who has not graced this blog for far too long.  None of these reports are from me since I was taking a nap at the time.
·         Ziggy's Mini Mart - nothing.  Apparently, Ziggy's closes down preemptively whenever there is a celestial event on the calendar.  Good for them!
·         Stop signs on Bloomberg St changed to Cyrillic, then changed back.
·         Strange smells were noticed near the intersection of Pennyworth and March.  Could not get clarification on what type of smells.
·         No one in the Walker family, a family with long roots in Kevin’s Crossing, were able to see the eclipse.  I need to follow up and find out what they saw in its place.
·         An eight-year-old boy, names Bandon, sneezed out a live grasshopper.  There are no corroborating witnesses and the source is far from reliable.
·         Several dozen people all across town reported seeing a soft blue point of light in the sky where no known celestial body is located.
·         My favorite local radio station KMO 9.92 switched over to a mysterious number station.  A monotone voice began repeating the numbers 8-32-14 in Polish.  I had to look it up!  Polish numbers again!
Now, last, but certainly not least.  The long-awaited return of Jak-Jak!  Over a dozen people reported sightings.  Most of these claimed to see him running quickly across lawns and streets, with a look of determination on his face.  I wonder where he was going.  All of these sightings occurred at the same time but all over town.  This may be the largest number of Jak-Jak sightings at one time that I am aware of.  Unfortunately, it doesn’t give us much new information.  Though it is always good to know that Jak-Jak is out there, doing his thing!


            Until next time, I’ll try to keep better up to date on celestial occurrences and I’ll keep you updated.

Quick Update - Future

Hello Dear Readers, Part 1 I didn’t think I’d have new information about that contents of the almanac so soon.  But I do!  Most unexpectedly I got an email from Jan March!  Apparently, it is that time of the month!  Hooray for menstrual cycles!  She says that she still isn’t sure about sharing her journals with me but that she had a vision with pressing information.  This vision filled her such a sense of dread and foreboding that she contacted me as soon as she woke up!             Her vision was about the destruction of Kevin’s Crossing!  In it, she saw the town underwater with torrential rain.  Then everything began to shake and the ground split open and more water came out!  In water dark shaped could be seen swimming out of the cracks in the earth.  She didn’t know what they were, but she said she could feel their hostile intent.       ...

Mystery Bulb Experiment - Tomato Plant Update

Hello Dear Readers,     With great excitement, I tell you that I fear that my closet may have been taken over by the former tomato plant, now the purple slimy pod plant, Suzie 2.  I’ve never actually seen it move, but the pods are in different positions every time I check on it.  I’ve been keeping a chair pressed up against the door for safety.  I would consider this experiment a success.  Though it doesn’t really tell me anything about the mystery bulb.  Other than long-term exposure has horrific effects on tomato plants.  Mysteries!     I’m trying to decide if I should kill the plant or release it into the wild.  If it can survive on normal sunlight, it could possibly cause an ecological disaster.  Decisions, decisions.     Also, I’ve been getting delicious cherry tomatoes off of the control plant by the window.  So it's win-win.     I’ll keep you updated!

Sinkhole

Hello Dear Readers, After last night's strange encounter with nonhuman entities from realms I couldn't possibly imagine, I awoke eagerly awaiting payment for my services as the observer.  I checked my whole apartment, which only took a minute as it's a small loft and I have little in the way of possessions and furniture(with the exception of the picture you painted for me when I graduated high school, Suzie).  I decided to check outside, in case it was left there. Instead, I found something very different waiting for me on my doorstep.  The ‘not a real cat’ sat there.  It looked up at me, giving me a cross look. “It's not my fault you got stuck in a car,” I closed the door on it and went back to my morning routine.  Which includes listening to Kimberley Valentine on KMO 9.92.  This morning Kimberley interrupted her regular format with breaking news!  An enormous sinkhole had opened up and swallowed a large part of the street in the expensive Hei...
