Friday Stateline “Jeopardy” Answer
Category: Hawk Watches for $100.
Answer: WD-40.
What is the question?
Question follows two other iPhone shots that reflect a surprising dearth of raptors from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
Weather was otherwise great, the views were as great, and we did see a Viking ship. (Seriously.)
"Jeopardy" question: How did someone silence the Hawk Watch coffee shop's forever squeaking restroom door?
(And how much longer would those hinges have screeched before someone stepped up?)
May the raptor numbers pick up this weekend!
