Every Friday, as Heather and I head to the hospital in
Murray, we pass by a ten-foot-tall werewolf statue. It’s not actually on display.
I suppose it was purchased by someone with poor spatial conception. It clearly won’t
fit in the tiny house or garage, so it’s trying to be as inconspicuous as
possible outside. I find it mildly amusing in broad daylight, but I might not
if I lived nearby and had to regularly walk past it after dark. I thought of
that werewolf when I read about a woman in Piqua, Ohio with a similar statue
she calls “Phil.” Mary Simmons put Phil up last Halloween, and never took him
down. The city recently left a notice on her door, asking her to remove the “seasonal
decoration.” And that gave Mary an idea. She dressed Phil in red, white and
blue, for Flag Day and Independence Day. She plans to dress him for the other
holidays, too.
