Stick 34 Merry Christickmas

Another first for the Stick Foundation here at the Stick Foundry, home of Found A Stick, that first being our first post of a found stick from overoceans.

Rachel Strules is a United States of American and she resides in the United States of America in the beautiful state of Vermont which is one of the states in the United States of America. The stick that Rachel has found is a very eloquent straight thin stick with slight playful upturns at both ends and a waif like appendage a third of the way down (though possibly two thirds of the way up depending on your individual perception). So tell us please Rachel do, just where found your very eloquent straight thin stick with slight playful upturns at both ends and a waif like appendage a third of the way down (though possibly two thirds of the way up depending on your individual perception).

I found this stick while shovelling my driveway in Winooski , Vermont . It was the first snowfall of the season and I was happy to be outside. I thought it was very usual to find a stick in my driveway because there are no trees near by.

So you were outside shovelling your driveway at the time you found your very eloquent straight thin stick with slight playful upturns at both ends and a waif like appendage a third of the way down (though possibly two thirds of the way up depending on your individual perception)? We can only assume that your driveway must consist of loose gravel or some such shovellable substance because we are of the opinion here at Found A Stick that shovelling a driveway made out of tarmac or some such unshovellable substance would be a strange and seemingly impossible task to have set yourself especially since you had the added complication of a layer of snowfall (the first of the season) on top of the driveway you were shovelling to contend with.

It has also now occurred to us here at Found A Stick that maybe when you said that you were shovelling your driveway what you were actually inferring was that you were in fact shovelling the snow that resulted from the already mentioned snowfall (the first of the season) from your driveway and not as we first assumed the actual driveway itself. If this is indeed the case then the fact that your driveway may well be made out of tarmac or some such unshovellable substance, the shovelling of which while remaining in our opinion a strange and seemingly impossible task to have set yourself, is now totally and relevantly irrelevant to the subject at hand, (well irrelevant to us but maybe not to Rachel because we can conceptualise that it would be in fact easier to shovel snow from a driveway made out of tarmac or some such unshovellable substance as opposed to attempting to shovel snow from a driveway consisting of loose gravel or some such shovellable substance which could easily lead to all sorts of unwanted snow/gravel shovelling complications which is the last thing you need when your are happy to be outside because of the first snowfall of the season.

Whatever is the true facts of the truth here we have to applaud Rachel's sheer tenacity and commitment to her driveway clearing activity because frankly we have tired ourselves out just talking about it.

As to you thinking it "very usual to find in a stick in my driveway because there are no trees near by" rather than finding it "very unusual to find a stick in my driveway because there are no trees near by" shows clearly that you already understand the magic of found sticks in ways that clearly show that you already understand the magic of found sticks when so many simply don't. You found a stick in your driveway but even though there are no trees near by you consider your find usual rather than unusual because you instinctively it seems know that found sticks move in mysterious ways, a wonder to behold. A wonderful intuitive insight on your part and not at all a simple typo as the more closed hearted might believe. Thank you Rachel for sharing your very eloquent straight thin stick with slight playful upturns at both ends and a waif like appendage a third of the way down (though possibly two thirds of the way up depending on your individual perception) and for your wonderfully intuitive insight into the nature of found sticks.

Update: One of our more eagle eyed observers from the Stick Foundation here at the Stick Foundry, home of Found A Stick, has noticed the white flakey stuff upon which Rachel's very eloquent straight thin stick with slight playful upturns at both ends and a waif like appendage a third of the way down (though possibly two thirds of the way up depending on your individual perception) is caught in repose upon in her picture and has ventured the opinion that this white flakey stuff upon which Rachel's very eloquent straight thin stick with slight playful upturns at both ends and a waif like appendage a third of the way down (though possibly two thirds of the way up depending on your individual perception) is caught in repose upon in her picture is in fact snow. This ventured opinion that was ventured as an opinion by one of our more eagle eyed observers was nearly dismissed as fanciful nonsense at first until it was also pointed out that Rachel herself mentions a first snowfall of the season in her explanation and this also pointed out thing was enough to convince us all that this was indeed snow upon which Rachel's very eloquent straight thin stick with slight playful upturns at both ends and a waif like appendage a third of the way down (though possibly two thirds of the way up depending on your individual perception) is caught in repose upon in her picture. And though normally we would refrain from surfing the Yuletide here at Found A Stick, the festive touch it brings to the picture puts us into the spirit that is associated with this time of the year and makes us declare this stick our official Christmas found stick of this Christmas. So thank you Rachel for being our Secret Stick Santa.

And as for our eagle eyed observer who made all this festive fun possible with his eagle eyed observations, well as a reward we are booking him into hospital straight away to have his eagle eyes replaced with human eyes as it has always been his long hoped for wish to no longer go through life as a eagle eyed freak. A heart warming conclusion to this post we are sure you'll all agree. Merry Christickmas one and all.
