We recently took this exceedingly rare image of the Abominable Snowman near the southern junction of Naskeag and Back Roads. We suspect, based on the circumstantial evidence and two stiff eggnogs, that he burgles houses while posing as a Santa’s helper.

Perhaps only those people who are indigenous to the Himalayan Mountains will understand our excitement. The Abominable Snowman (also called The Yeti) has been a god-like legend there for ages. “He” is a portent of great danger to be avoided. (His gender is abominably apparent, since he disdains clothes, but we took our image from a discreet angle.)

Those legends go back a long time. Alexander the Great, after he conquered Yeti territory, reportedly demanded that his soldiers capture the abominable creature and bring it to him for inspection. But, apparently, the creature was too smart for them and they never saw him. But not for us! Consider yourself lucky to have this invaluable image. (Brooklin, Maine)
