Unicorn helmet where we found it on the beach |
Saturday afternoon Nora and I took the doggies for a walk on Buskin Beach. The wind had dropped and a storm was rolling in and the sun was already obscured in high overcast. With all the recent storms and higher than usual tides there is a lot of new driftwood and debris on the beach. I actually collected a few logs to cut for firewood - really high quality yellow cedar branches that are generally snapped up pretty quickly.
We also found a child's unicorn hat propped up on top of a driftwood tree branch. I wore it for a bit and then Nora did too. Funnily enough, this past fall I had found the same style of helmet on the beach on Sitkinak Island. I was wondering if it might even have been the same helmet. But more likely a bunch of them were in a container that fell off of a freighter and are all now floating up on beaches everywhere. Unicorns for beachcomber's pleasure!
Anyway, on the drive home I was telling Nora a story about a kid I knew in 9th grade who used to have unicorn posters all over his room. He was obsessed with unicorns. Nora wondered how he did in life, and so we googled him and found out he is a successful commercial real state developer. There was nothing about whether or not he still liked unicorns.
