Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood: Hog-Toting Orca Bricklayers, etc.

Posted by news intern Peter Johnson.

OrcaMan: Magnolia Voice reports that a swine-toting bricklayer dresses up like a killer whale in his free time and jetskis around picking up trash. For real.

Rain barrel stolen: A Laurelhurst rain barrel was stolen yesterday. Readers are advised to remain calm and report any suspicious activity to SPD.

Go students: Ballard High School had a staff v. faculty basketball game to raise money for the school's teams (go Beavers!) on Tuesday, MyBallad reports. MyBallard did not report who won.

Budget cuts destroy picnic: The Old Timers' Picnic, traditionally put on by the Parks Department for seniors and held at the zoo, was canceled, reports PhinneyWood. This would have been the 39th iteration of the annual event.

Call the police if you see anything criminal: PhinneyWood reminds us about things that are not at all obvious.

Cat lost: Beacon Hill Blog and its readers are looking for an adorable orange tabby, Chutney, whose concerned owners miss him.

Cat found: Boudika, a gray tabby, was lost but now is found. Hurray, Ballard!

Tickets for the Wallingford Garden Tour are on sale: You don't want to miss this one, folks.

And, we'll go in order:
Rain barrels suck! Stupid, stupid waste of money and plastic.

Donate your $60 to watershed conservation instead.
