You may be right.

But I wouldn’t be able to catch the references. We didn’t have any of them around where I grew up.

Just Seagulls.

Speaking of seagulls—was the gag to change the mascot in your era? I trust you know the story.

The mascot at MHS? I don’t believe I’ve heard of that. I remember the robin’s egg blue police cars with the screaming seagull on the city emblem. The Crossline Ferry boondoggle, that “Spirit of the Whatever” sculpture in the fountain in front of City Hall.... Around the time all of the hippie stuff got stuck on St. Monica’s. Coos Bay...the ‘70s boom time.
