Show THE ZEPHYR/OCTOBER-NOVEMBER 2005 THE NUTSHELL a ee Oe Cg es EVIDEINCE AUTUMN 2005 MINGLING WITH THE TWINKLIN’ STARS The Zephyr's been obsessed with cowboy movies lately so reader Rick Cline sent us these photos of two of Hollywood's greatest Western film actors. That's JACK ELAM with Rick (top) and KEN CURTIS on the set of the film “Lost,” shot near Torrey and Teasdale, Utah in 1982...Thanks Rick. DOG OF THE MONTH... The Strange Odyssey of Fluffy the Cat When Holly Porter of Monticello, prepared to take a trip north to Salt Lake City, she couldn't find her cat Fluffy. Fluff is an inside cat in most respects and Holly didn't want to leave Fluffy to fend for herself outside for a week. But Fluffy was nowhere to be found. Reluctantly, Holly headed north and hoped the cat would survive her outside ordeal. Holly stopped for the night in Moab, left early the next morning, paused for gas in Price and reached American Fork later that afternoon. It was while Holly was re-filling the tank that she heard a strange noise, coming from under her Chevy Blazer..She couldn't place it at first. It certainly didn't sound like a motor noise. It almost sounded...alive. Holly bent down and listened more closely and heard it again. This time, the sound was unmistakable. It was clearly a ‘meow.’ Fluffy the Cat had crawled into the spare tire that was bolted to the frame, just behind the rear axle. She was there for the ride to Moab, and spent the night there, and endured the long drive across the hot desert to Price, through the gas station fill-up....all the way to American Fork. It was then, after a 300 mile/two day ride, that Fluffy finally revealed herself to her loving family. The Zephyr believes that Fluffy is either the dumbest, luckiest, or most resilient cat we've ever encountered—or all three. (That's Garret Porter with Fluffy in the photo) 30,000 MILES AND COUNTING... Whether you've lived in Moab half a century, or a month, this woman should look familiar. AUDREY GALBRAITH and her husband MILT came to Moab in the early 50s, created MILT'S STOP n' EAT, ran the diner for 25 years and retired almost thirty years ago. That's when Audrey started walking. Since their retirement began in the early 80s, Audrey walks downtown and back from their home on Tusher, three miles, every day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Audrey calculates she's walked about 30,000 miles since her first stroll and has no intention of stopping any time soon. | get tired just watching her... Nei Oy |
