Welcome to TWW Enterprises: Another Santa Claus myth debunked

The Warped Woodturner (TWW) is a local artist traveling his artist's journey in a suburb of Springbrook, WI (pop. 536). TWW's creative calling is to use a wood lathe to make useless objects from locally-sequestered organic carbon for tourists to bring back to the city to give to people they had to buy something for but do not like that much. His target market is the senior citizens since their vision is not as good as it used to be so cannot see the defects as well. His marketing jingle is: “Bowls as simple as their creator”.

Another Santa Claus myth debunked

As the in-laws would sit around the campfire imbibing at the cabin someone was sure to start spinning tales from the old days on the farm. The youngsters would sit wide-eyed listening and wondering how their fathers ever reached the age of 20 given the daring deeds and conspiracies they pulled off.

Last Saturday TWW got to visit the site of some of these tales. There was once a bridge atop a canyon with a rushing river where people dived falling at least 50 feet before plunging into the raging current. There were also tales of sheriff's visits complete with lights and sirens. But nature has taken its toll on the gorge and it is now flat. And the bridge shrunk as you can see below and the stream is a mere trickle now. And the Wild Turkey bottle is empty.
