Annual events can be oner-
ous things. They are like the
book of the month club; easy
to get into, hard to get out of.
So, I enter them with great
caution but sometimes they
just happen and develop a
life of their own. As is the
case six years ago, when the
late Executive Councilor
Ray Burton and I began an
accidental tradition of spend-

I’d have the world’s first

today that a company has to
advertise they’ll say thank

Yeah, my pet peeve is
advertising. Generally
speaking, it is the most dis-

Thrift Stores
by Scott Funk
I was coming out of a thrift
store when I heard someone
call out, “Aren’t you the
guy on TV?” followed by,
“Hey, what are you doing
shopping in a thrift store?”
Good question. I answered
it there and now I will
answer it here.
My mom used to shop at
the Goodwill for her
clothes. I was embarrassed
by this. Worst of all, she
liked to brag about it when
people complimented her
on her outfits. Yes, I agree
she always looked great, but
I hated that she bought
everything she could for
herself secondhand.
Not me; I bought at full
price. Usually in little bou-
tique shops where the styles
were more selective and the
clothes were likely to be
imported from the
Mediterranean. Top shelf
and top price. If I could’ve
left the labels and price tags
on, I would’ve.
Two things changed all
that. First, I grew older, a
lot older. Second, items of
quality in styles a gentle-
man of my years should
wear became harder to find.
Then I saw a jacket I liked
in the window of . . . you
guessed it: a thrift shop.
Inside I found all sorts of
things I liked. Not neces-
sarily in my size, but good
shoes, nice suits & shirts,
some ties and an assortment
of this-or-thats, some of
which were nice and others
made one wonder where
they'd come from.
Thus began my discovery
of the world I had abhorred
-- thrift shops, consignment
stores, used stuff stores,
Salvies (Salvation Army
Stores) and Goodies
(Goodwills). Along the
way I’ve learned a few
rules. You can't judge a
shop from the outside (or
from the past time you were

ly. Be willing to take a
chance, especially if it is for Brings you Laff-a-Day
charity. Be sure to donate
back, after all it is for chari-
ty. Finally, check often; the
good stuff comes in and
goes out fast. It’s a lot like
fishing, you have to drop a
line in as often as possible if
you want to catch the big
ones.
What have I found? A
hand-tailored suit that had
never been worn, fitting so
perfectly I could have worn
it home, Pendleton shirts,
handmade shoes, imported
wool sweaters, silk shirts,
linen slacks, L. L. Bean
flannel shirts, and Harris
tweed sport coats from
Scotland. This is good stuff
and you can’t find a lot of it
in retail shops anymore.
Now for the disclaimer:
there is a lot more stuff in
these stores for ladies than
for men. Why? Because
women observe fashion
while men are unobservant.
(If there is a fashion change
in ties, lapels, or patterns, I
stopped being aware of it
near the end of the last cen-
tury.) So, the reality is that
most of the men’s clothes I
find are either divorce boun-
ty or dead guy stuff. I can

The Outside Story________________________________________
Porcupine Salt
Cravings
Author: Susan Shea
When I was growing up, my
family rented a vacation
home on a mountain in
southern Vermont. One night
we were awakened by our
dogs barking. Soon we heard
a persistent gnawing on the
outside of the house. My Dad
went to investigate. His
flashlight beam revealed a
large porcupine with black,
beady eyes. My father scared
it away, but it returned other
nights.
Why would a porcupine
chew on a house? It’s not so
much the wood they’re after;
it’s the finish. Most paints,
stains, and wood glues con-
tain salt. And porcupines
crave it, just as we humans
crave potato chips and roast-
ed peanuts.
A porcupine’s yen for salt
kicks in as they transition
from a winter to a spring
diet. During winter, porcu-
pines become somewhat
sedentary, holing up in rock
caves, hollow logs, or aban-
doned buildings, and making
only short forays from their
dens to feed on the inner bark
of trees; hemlock and white
pine are favorites.
Porcupines are able to
extract nutrients from this
low-quality food because of
their large caecum, a sac at
the junction of the small and
large intestines. The caecum
contains digestive bacteria
that ferment the finely
ground plant fiber so the
body can absorb it. Even
with this special ability to
use bark for food, the ani-
mals lose weight in winter.
As spring warms the forest, a
porcupine’s diet and behav-
ior change rapidly. The ani-
mals spend much of their
time in trees feasting on
Puzzle Answers
swollen buds. They chew off
a branch and hold it with
their forepaws while they nip
off the buds. You can find
these “nip-twigs” littering
the ground below a porcu-
pine feeding tree. When the
vegetation returns, porcu-
pines will often leave the
trees to feed on the ground.
Grasses, clover, violets, dan-
delions, and raspberry leaves
and canes are favorite foods.
All this spring and early
summer feasting leads to
rapid weight gain, but also a
sodium deficiency. Green
plants are low in sodium and
high in potassium. According
to Uldis Roze, author of The
North American Porcupine,
porcupines and other herbi-
vores need both sodium and
potassium to activate nerves
and muscles, but must main-
tain a 1:1 ratio of these two
ions. If the amount of potas-
sium significantly exceeds
the amount of sodium, the
animal can die. Plants con-
tain potassium to sodium
ratios as high as 500:1. So
porcupines feeding on green
vegetation must excrete
excess potassium and seek
out salt. For the same reason,
other herbivores like moose
and snowshoe hare often
congregate at roadsides in
spring to feed on salt left
over from the winter.
Roze has studied porcupines
extensively in the Catskills.
In one experiment, he
attached salt-impregnated
wooden pegs to a cabin, then
observed porcupines through
the windows as they came to
chew on the wood on night:
“I felt trapped inside a bass
viol as the house vibrated
under their powerful teeth.
This was porcupine music,
the sound of the wood saws.”
Roze discovered that porcu-
pines preferred the wooden
pegs with the highest con-
centrations of sodium. When
he added potassium, they
chose pegs with the most bal-
anced sodium to potassium
ratios. In his study, females

came to the cabin in search
of salt more often than
males. He attributed this to
hormones associated with
pregnancy and lactation,
which prompt a craving for
salt; nursing mothers lose
sodium in their milk.
Roze observed the rate of
salt-feeding by his porcu-
pines peak in May and June,
with a second minor peak in
August and September, when
they were feeding on large
numbers of apples. Apples
are acidic, impairing sodium
resorption in the kidney and
causing the animals to lose
sodium in their urine. The
salt drive dissipates in win-
ter, when the animals are less
mobile and get by on sodium
that’s stored in their caecum.
Before plywood outhouses
and sweaty axe handles were
available for porcupines to
chew on, where did they find
salt? Early naturalists
observed the animals swim-
ming to reach yellow pond
lilies and other aquatic
plants, and even quarreling
over the sodium-rich leaves.
Porcupines eat mud at natu-
ral salt licks along riverbanks
and gnaw on fresh bones in
animal carcasses, which con-
tain both sodium and calci-
um.
So if a mother porcupine
begins to chew on the salty
handle of your favorite canoe
paddle, perhaps you’ll be
more sympathetic – and
remember to put it out of the
animal’s reach.

Proprioception and
Expressing emotion
My tail is more than just a
pretty appendage -- and it's
more sensitive than you
might think. Nothing is
quite as wonderful as walk-
ing up to my pets when they
come home and greeting
them, with my tail held high
to say, “Welcome back! I
missed you!” But my tail
does much more than help
you understand how I am
feeling. First, My tail has 19
to 23 vertebrae, about 10
percent of the total number
of bones in my body. An
extensive group of muscles,
ligaments, and tendons hold
the tail together and provide
its amazing mobility. The
average cat tail length for a
male is 11 inches, and for a
female it’s 9.9 inches. My

tail is 13 inches long and it is
my excuse for accidently
hitting my face every now
and then.
1. My tail is a balancing tool
My tail acts as a counter-
weight when I walk along
narrow surfaces like fence
tops or chair backs. It also
helps while running, to stay
standing as I make sharp
turns in pursuit of my
favorite toy.
2. It’s a communication aid,
too
I communicate largely
through body language. I use
my tail as one of the most
important way of communi-
cation. By understanding
“tail talk,” you can under-
stand how your cat is feeling
with just a glance, but my
pets needed for me to learn
to read and write to explain
this to them.
A happy cat, for instance,
walks with her tail held high,
and a super-happy cat will
add a quiver at the tail tip to
demonstrate her joy. A mild-
ly annoyed cat will twitch
the end of her tail, but if
she’s lashing her tail back
and forth, you’d better step
away, because the claws are
about to come out. A cat

might be a very slight
twitching at the end as she
tries to control her excite-
