I Knew My Brother in Law Brought a Pet With Him...

Seems my Australian brother in law might have managed to sneak something past customs...
Around Cloquet Pine Knot, Minnesota, according to the Pine Journal, "the phone lines buzzed with people who had either already seen the kangaroo or who wanted to and wanted to know which alfalfa field he was in. The farming area to the west of town quickly filled with families in cars, cruising around slowly, looking for the visiting foreigner. Veterinarians were called by reporters to see if anyone had a pet kangaroo who might have escaped. The zoo is 25 miles away, but it quickly counted noses and couldn’t come up one kangaroo short. The Great Kangaroo Hunt lasted until dark."

What a wild coincidence! Are you still affiliated with the company?

Oh absolutely - I'm one of those folks who doesn't change jobs all that often - too ingrained of a sense of responsibility to the people I befriend, even if it's at work. Although you have to enjoy a company that has two happy hours you're vaguely expected at in one night.
