It slipped past me, I admit. I was sick for a good week and a half with the worst allergies I’ve ever experienced (I blame global warming) and then I was traveling–and yes, there was some overlap, which resulted in me trying to conduct an interview with no voice whatsoever, which was an interesting experience–so…

While visiting the shop of curiosities out of which Chattanooga Ghost Tours is based this past weekend, and interviewing owner Amy Petulla on the subject of the legendary (’round these parts) severed head of the Beast of Sugar Flats Road (see separate article), I heard another story that I knew I had to share with…

I sometimes have to remind myself that I write not for a regional audience, or even a national one, but for an international one.

In addition, he was spot-on, for the most part.…

Actually, it’s only one toe, the same toe. And this article doesn’t quite qualify for inclusion as a report on anthrophagy, aka cannibalism, but it’s close enough. Besides, I thought it was funny. We all need a little levity, don’t you think? Sure we do. In that spirit, then, may I present to you all…
