LOOK UP: Nothing gets by our readers.

Two readers actually observed the Good Year blimp going by
overhead on Monday.

Jeffery Burt, who reporting seeing a blimp last year, made his
observation at 11:35 a.m. Monday as it was flying over his
neighborhood in the village of Marvindale.

He said it was definitely the Good Year blimp, and he believed
it was headed from Watkins Glen to Akron, Ohio, where he believes
there is a Good Year factory.

We also had a report that Marty Pascarella was in Kane on Monday
afternoon and also saw the blimp. Marty reportedly heard a funny
noise, and looked up to see the blimp.

The blimp obviously was flying pretty low – low enough for
people to be able to read the writing on the side.

We had asked whether Snoopy was at the helm but it was pointed
out that his is the Met Life blimp.

BIG CATS: We know there are skeptics out there when it comes to
reports of mountain lions. But this one raises the hair on your
neck.

Sara Razey of Crosby writes, “This is in response to your
article of Aug. 4, 2007, titled ‘Big Cats.'”

“We, too, were told mountain lions do not exist in Pennsylvania.
This was after we buried our horse. Not only were we told the horse
was not killed by a ‘cat’ (we had the tracks to prove it), but we
were told that we had no proof because we didn’t keep the
carcass.

“They never showed up for two days and expected us to leave the
horse on top of the ground ’til they got here! That would have
really made the grandkids feel great, seeing the dead horse!

“I know it was a cat because I heard it scream and the horse
whinny, and when I went out to feed them, she was bleeding out at
the ankles. Needless to say, when I go to the barn now, I carry a
big gun!

“The evening after the cat got the horse, someone else saw the
cat dragging a deer off the road in Christian Hollow Road. No one’s
going to tell me the ‘cats’ don’t exist in Pennsylvania!”

Our question, of course, is what would be large enough to take
down a horse? If not a mountain lion, perhaps a bear – a big bear.
Nothing else around here.
