📣 FROM THE STEAMBOAT DISPATCH — “La Grande Conspiration des Orteils” — Winds of W Mountain 📻🌊🐍🕰️

Program Notice: This recording contains a North Country folklore encounter involving minor injury, public commotion, case notes, and testimony from the Narrows. No official agency has claimed responsibility for the toes.

Filed from Chateaugay Lake, with reference to Gloria Fernsworth of East Bellmont, old Ti-Jean, Donnelly’s tavern board, and one clipboard that appears to have enjoyed more authority than it deserved.

In this episode:
Toe-Bite Reports
Narrows Bathing Panic
Gloria’s Clipboard Evidence
Donnelly’s Pickled Egg Offer

The matter concerns certain small nips taken from summer toes, a theory involving “toe-based psychological operations,” and the sober fact that several respectable persons wore socks in the lake thereafter. Why only the toes?

A line from the case note reads: “Government testin’ again.” That statement has not improved with age, though it has traveled well.

Best received after the lamp is turned low, the receiver warmed up, and the line given a minute to clear its static. Those with business near the shore may lend an ear, then judge whether bare feet are still a sign of innocence.
