Lots of fun feedback on my last public radio rant. For example, here's one from Phil Keyes (Brandon, VT)
"Really enjoyed Joe Citro's recent commentary about animals in Vermont with 2 legs longer than the others, so they could stand up on the steep hills of the green mountains.
"My brother confirms the existence of these creatures, but called them
by a different name, Wampahoofuses. He was a hut caretaker on Mount Mansfield, and told me all about them!"Somehow I get the feeling I didn't fool anyone with my April Fools Day antics.
But it's clear Mr. Keyes is not easily fooled.
He adds, "I have spent a good chunk of time on and around Mount Independence in Orwell, VT and can report that [Champ] does not appear to live there, although a few logs have surfaced from the bridge built in 1777, now and then that might give the impression of being [Champ]."
