My Giant Problems
Rio Grande, NM
“That giant was just in my backyard and I’m scared,” a different Calle Don Leandro caller said. The caller was not sure if the giant was still in the area. Police were unable to locate the giant.
Found in the Rio Grande Sun

How do the cops know they were “different”? Maybe they were just misunderstood……..

How do you not locate a giant? Where can they hide?

Yet another story from Rio Grande NM. Obviously, the caller was unaware of the tradition of the Christmas Giant, so popular in West Texas and Southern New Mexico.

Sly ~~~ You may on to something, there.
It was probably the Jolly Green Giant fleeing the thing that he fears most . . . one of those mechanical avocado pickers.

I don’t blame him!! I’d be running, too, if I had an “avocado picker” comin’ after me!!!
