All Toes in the Water! Literally!

Several weeks ago, I ran a couple of stories about feet washing ashore in Canada. The stories were rather strange, a foot here, a foot there. No hands. No head. The feet didn’t match each other or so the local authorities said. And, the last shoe that washed ashore was actually an animal’s foot stuck inside a running shoe. Who knew animals were now into jogging! Maybe they are into cycling. What do you think Bill?

Anyway, an athletic shoe containing a human foot was found on a Washington state beach, and authorities are investigating whether it may be linked to the human feet found in shoes along the coast of British Columbia.

Undersheriff Ron Peregrin said that the King County medical examiner determined the foot was human and detached from its body naturally after floating in the water.

Peregrin said the foot will be sent for a forensic investigation to see if it matches feet found washed ashore in British Columbia. Results are expected to take six to eight weeks.

Authorities said a woman told the Clallam County sheriff’s office on Saturday that she found the black, high-top shoe along the beach on the Strait of Juan de Fuca, about 30 miles west of Port Angeles.

You know, this story gets more weird every time I see another report. Feet washing ashore. Feet stuffed inside running shoes. Feet not matching.

You know, too bad CSI Las Vegas isn’t around. I have no doubt that Grissom would have this case solved in no time—but then again, he never really solved the miniature killer, did he? Okay, I realize that most of you won’t know that reference, but hey, I have no life. I actually like watching TV and even though it has no redeeming factors, I still enjoy it.

And, I still have both of my feet!
