On the weekend Barbara Duncan announced at her blog that her trusted friend and cat had captured and neutralized a bird that we later found out had been trying to break into her house. While the actions of the cat, at first, were suspicious it ended up that the cat was acting with great restraint and was in fact merely protecting the Duncan property. Any interrogator, looking into the eyes of this cat, sees total honesty.

 Innocent cat

A crack team of international investigators flew to Arkansas to investigate a suspicion by Mrs Duncan that the victim was Raven DeCrow, a confederate and cohort of Seattle home inspector Charles "Chuckie Bee" Buell. The raven had such a sophisticated disguise that, at first, it seemed unlikely that the body was that of Raven DeCrow. However, it ends up that the thief was in heavy camouflage, dressed as another species of bird. The investigators, upon checking out the potential crime scene, found proof positive, under glued on feathers, that it was Raven DeCrow in disguise. Even the distinctive necklace, stolen in Shoreline WA, was present at the scene. 

As those of us who have met him would expect, Mr Buell denied that his home inspector assistant, Raven, was in Arkansas attempting to loot the Duncan household. That is to be expected as Mr Buell could be in hot water himself if a link is established between his operation and the thieving crow. This could be racketeering which is much in the news lately.

Despite Mr Buell's attempts to act dumb about the whole ordeal, investigators have been tailing him since the weekend. Yesterday, Mr Buell was spotted, spade in hand, at the Deadwood, South Dakota Cemetery. Despite his public protests to the contrary, it is apparent that he was disposing of Raven far away from his home or the state of Arkansas. This was very suspicious behavior and it is obvious that Mr Charles Buell has given us back the bird and she now rests near other legendary cowboys, looters and bandits.

A photo, showing what the investigators saw after Buell left the premises, is below. It is too bad that Mr Buell did not take the time to hide his crow's feet. If one listened closely in the background, music was playing.

Dedicated to providing only the facts,

Special Investigator

Nutsy, I want to suggest something to you.  You have all the skills to be a politician.  Everything you say just sounds good, sounds right, sounds inspirational.  And you are very modest, never bragging about your good deeds.  There's a possible opening for a Governor in some state, perhaps Illinois?    Why don't we run you?

Doesn't it sound almost TOO good to be true?  The answer to that would be "YUP."

But, Charles, that's the way politicians always sound.  It's a natural skill.

Mrs Barbara,

I might be interested but, if I was, how much money would I make by accepting the appointment or could I, perhaps, make more money by taking offers from others and then trying to manipulate the process so one of them was appointed and I could live off the spoils. Do I understand the way it works? Advice please.

This might be a good career move and I am ready. Thanks.

Nutsy, you need to talk to that Governor of IL who could give you some excellent tips on which is the best way to score   use your skills.  His picture is on Elvis's blog.  Maybe Elvis could get you his phone number. You are thinking in the right direction.

Mrs Barbara,

I am now, once again, dressed in a manner that will allow me to talk to that governor guy on his level. I am going to go ahead on your suggestion. Glad I still have this disguise from that big bust a couple weeks back.

Boy,

I just now saw this blog. It is amazing all the work Nutsy does to make the world a better place. He is almost as amazing a Batman or Superman, as the little girl thought. I find that he is often humbled by his own modesty.

The boss of Nutsy

Steven, that is worth repeating over and over.  He is so modest.  Unbelievable.  I don't understand the anger he stirs up in some people.

Barbara,

You ever see the movie High Noon? The role Jimmy Stewart played? Nutsy is much like that under pressure. James is just so jealous it is almost amusing. You have to admit, he looks like a shoe-in for political office -- good looking and he looks intelligent.

I am not angry at all----it is just weirds me out when people start to think of squirrels as more than food.

Exactly Charlie. Any animal that collects nuts is definitely low on the food chain. Hence their nervous nature.

Gentlemen,

I not only collect, but also attract nuts. A couple of them have been hanging around. I named them James and Charles. Hope to have your support in the race for the Illinois senate seat.

Nutsy, If you are planning on living in that seat you may have to kick out the rats first.

Mr. Nutsy, I think the biggest nut you have collected is your boss. As for your political aspirations, I am behind you all the way. Remember to look back.

Mr Charles and Mr James,

When I am in that position, I will remember the lesser people who helped put me there. Thanks for getting on the bandwagon.

WOW .... Good thing the Dunkin household had the cat security services. Them Crows are known for stealing bright shinny objects likes rings and other sparkly jewelry.
