Around here you’ll hear scuttling at night. Rats? Raccoons? Giraffes? Who knows. ---

Presumably at a zoo. Although, there is a giraffe wildlife sanctuary in Ohio. ---

I was surprised to find there is a wildlife sanctuary in middle of nowhere Neshkoro WI (about 2 miles from where I grew up) that has many wild animals, including a giraffe. Their website says a few of their animals are “Zebra, Giraffe, Rhino, Lion, Tiger, Camels, Wildebeest, Oryx, Rhea, Fallow Deer”. Sounds like Bugs reading the list of foods a Tazmanian Devil eats. What, no rabbits? ---

It was hot that day, with highs in the low 90s. In June in Alabama, it’s advisable only to bury bodies in the early morning or late in the day, to avoid undue physical stress. ---

Some combo of voice recognition “writing” by the author, AI slop, and no editing. I tried to imagine what other words sound sorta like “without shot” and got nowhere. Anyone? ---

Though I’m skeptical; even at Denny’s, I don’t know that they’d serve a steak to a drunk guy without a shirt. (And he has a shirt in the mugshot.) ---

The only thing that makes sense is “came in without knife”. Which is true. It was given to him with his dinner.
