he View-Master was invented in Oregon and first debuted at the 1939 New York World’s Fair, thanks to Sawyer’s Photo Services in Portland. Originally meant for viewing scenic travel images in 3D, the clunky red device eventually became a beloved kids’ toy.

The Ape Canyon Incident: America's Weirdest Bigfoot Story?

In the summer of 1924, miners near Mt. St. Helens claimed they were attacked by giant ape-like creatures hurling rocks at their cabin.

My first friend was a dog.
I watched them closely—
sniffing the air,
basking in the sun.

Personalities:
playful,
protective.

Sometimes, when I run the trail,
I pretend I’m a dog—
my canine teeth bumping against my lips,
just air
blowing
on my fur.
