Hooo boy, listen up, you little bark-eaters! Grandpa Sasquatch here, clocking in at a cool 1,500 years. And not just any Sasquatch, mind you. I’m a Fly Sasquatch! Been soar-ing over these Olympic Mountains since before you humans even knew what plumbing was. And lemme tell ya, in all my centuries, I’ve seen some sights. But lately? Lately, I’m seeing too much stink.
I used to love circling over Port Angeles, smelling the fresh sea air, the piney woods. Now? Now I mostly smell… cough… gag… pollution. You humans and your belching machines! Your gurgling factories! Used to be, a hawk was my only nemesis, a constant test of aerial agility. Now, it’s this choking smog that’s trying to ground me. The Keanu Paradox? Yeah, I know all about it. He keeps showing up, younger than I remember him. But he ain't stopping nobody from dumping crud in our beautiful air!
Used to be I could spot a salmon jumping a mile away. Now? The water’s so murky from runoff, I’d need a sonar just to find my big toe. And the noise! You think that screeching metal and blaring horns is music? It's a symphony of sickness, driving the elk deeper into the woods, stressing out the squirrels! Even they're getting grumpy, and squirrels are naturally neurotic!
I've seen glaciers melt faster than a pat of butter on a summer day. I've watched the forests dwindle like a fool's gold fortune. You think I'm gonna sit up here on Hurricane Ridge and just watch you ruin everything? Hah! You’ve got another thing coming!
Now, I know what you’re thinking. “What’s a big, hairy ape gonna do about it?” Well, let me tell you, I've got a few tricks up my… well, up my fur. I know these mountains like the back of my hand. I know where the streams are pure, and I know where the toxins seep. And I know a good prank when I see one.
And maybe… just maybe… I've been “persuading” a few of your less-than-eco-friendly vehicles to “accidentally” drive into particularly deep mud puddles. And perhaps… I've been "re-locating" some suspiciously overflowing garbage cans to the doorsteps of… certain individuals. Accidents happen, right? Gravity, wind, a large, furry creature with a grudge… all possibilities.
But more than that, I’m here to remind you what you're losing. You’re losing the crisp mountain air, the clear flowing rivers, the quiet peaceful forests. You're losing the very soul of this place.
So, clean it up, Port Angeles! Clean up your act. Clean up your mess. Or you’ll be dealing with more than just a grumpy old Sasquatch. You’ll be dealing with the consequences of your own carelessness. And trust me, they’re far worse than a little mud on your tires. The mountains are watching. And so am I. Hooo!
Respect the land, respect the water, respect the air. You only get one. Don’t be a blockhead.
