I can't believe it's only a weekly paper

I was perusing our paper today, and came across the following article:

FOLLOW THESE TIPS FOR SAFE RAKING

Yep. I was all prepared to write a blog post on that. I mean, the first “tip” was this:

First, do some stretching exercises to warm up muscles. Follow with further stretching.

[My thought: A little redundant. First, do some stretching. Follow up with some stretching…. ]

But then I came across THIS article, and I just have to share it:

AUGUSTA RECYLCES OLD BONES INTO ART

[Me: WOW. That’s… interesting…]

Make no bones about it. Kevin Hiland, Augusta, is an unusual artist.

On second thought, maybe we should make bones about it. [Ack- stupid pun- and they used it twice!] Hiland does [he makes bones?] – and creates some unusual works of art. He converts skull bones of cattle into some of the most unusual artwork you’re likely to encounter. [Again- wow. I’m almost speechless]

Nearly fitting for Halloween, the multicolored pieces of art have gained a measure of local popularity, although his work has yet to gain much acclaim outside the local area [I can’t imagine!]

Bones, however, are not the only art in which Hiland is involved. Some of his past work is on public display in Augusta [On public display? Like in the public library or something?]. Hiland contributed significantly to the construction of the wall mural on the south side of the building currently housing PJ’s pub & Diner [Oh. He painted the wall outside the local bar. THAT kind of public display….]

“I know that I’m not the greatest artist in the world,” Hiland said, “But these animals die. No sense in wasting their skulls.”

Way to “go green,” Kevin!
