“A couple of times he actually popped his head out of the water and kinda stared right at me”

If you were needing a new excuse for, well, anything, this is a good one. People are going to assume you wouldn’t make it up, because if you did say an animal attacked you, surely you would’ve picked something bigger, like a grizzly, or a medium-sized dog. See, we want to think of otters as [...]

Summertime in K-town, everybody get down
