On This Day | A Fiend for Jewelry

A SKUNK WITH A GLASS collar around its neck was among a group gassed out by Harold Erickson of Carrington. On closer scrutiny it was found to be the neck of a fruit jar. The animal had evidently been nosey at some time and had stuck his head into the open jar, and had to break the jar to free himself. The jagged edged glass ring remained intact and probably would have choked the skunk if he would have lived longer.

Why We Chose It

If only they had an iPhone... we could have watched a video of a skunk with a glass necklace. It goes to show, even in the old days, the news was filled with a little fun mindless stuff, too. It does seem our moment has gotten a little out of balance though... there's maybe a little more mindless stuff than is good for us these days.
