Who does the sheriff think he is?  Paul Revere?  At this rate he will have at most 4 or 5 people alerted to this news by the end of his shift…

But of course he had to stop by Lost Forest, because if Mark’s not in the know, then the story can’t move forward… s l o w l y  move forward… In the time it has taken the Sheriff to tell the tale, Dusty would have been able to muster the 5th Armored Division of the Georgia National Guard!  Where’s the Governor in all this?  Certainly he or she needs to get in on the act!

And we still don’t have a clue as to what Mark had in mind when he fed the big cat the ham that Cherry was counting on for dinner…
