Clantasticism in the Deep South

The Pinto Brothers fell into the South Fork of the Saint Lucie River awhile ago; one was recovered from causeway waters beneath the Palm City bridge but no word about the other has yet been seen in local newspaper(s).

Recent television journalism broadcast from West Palm Beach, Florida, described a vehicular roadway incident together with a photograph of a racer-style late-model car that was in some creative way pressurized into the form of an automotive arch, sitting in the middle of a local county street with nary a crack in the glossy bright paintwork. Presumably, toddlers and other types of creatures might navigate beneath and through the sort of tunnel become evident, perhaps as an example of the much-vaunted "spidey sense" reminescent of Superman comix.

Concurrent with a showing of the TV documentary, 'Hillbilly: the Real Story', a large pile of plant trimmings had been removed from the sandy trail at the end of Kingswood Terrace Road in Martin County, finally freeing-up passageway toward an abandoned device in the trailbed having the appearance of a large dental mirror. It was embedded at a curve beside a water-pocket of the St. Lucie River; although blocked by a small dam near a different riverside street, reptiles of some size and heft could gain access anyway and take toothy breathers inland. The TV film showed an antique car with a front hood attachment that matched the shiny ersatz reflector as an example of Appalachian culture.

The sandy trailway had at one time extended throughout Martin County, and in some places remains intact without disturbance, with major blockage at airport and condominium installations, ergo. The inland waterways cannot be fully controlled as a consequence of the proximity of both river and ocean, but a system of ditches, canals and retaining ponds demonstrates an attempt to do so anyway; creature tunnels to and from the river are ever-possible in the sandy soil.

A use of cement blocks as home building materials mimics that ever-present tunnel network, blocks that can disintegrate into deadly flying chunks during hurricane visitation from the deep blue seas.

Waterspouts have been reported in specific areas of the United States, inland and including Florida coastal waters and canals, which suggests that members of the sunfish family are the propellant force behind the phenomena. In general, scaly creatures may mobilize to cause great change in ways that are not always wrong or harmful; therefore, bows-and-arrows remain prevalent and are not obsolete nor are opportunities to show cultural artistry by-passed.
