Coal Miner's Otter

As more and more cities decide upon a town animal mascot to place statues of all around, Crossville, TN has recently settled upon the Otter. I was told by the lady in the gift shop of the Crossville Depot where this is located that Otters, once common, are now near extinct in many parts of Tennessee, but not in Crossville. Coal Miner's Otter seems like such a perfect name, but alas, this is Franky. Franky represents the mining activity of Cumberland County and was donated by Franklin Industrial Materials.

Sadly, I never found a 'Welcome Back, Otter"

Today's goofy spam message:

Subject: BE CAREFUL OF THE HUDLOOMS

(I'm not sure what a Hudloom is. I think it's either a machine that the U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development uses to weave houses, or it's a quaint spelling of Hoodlums.)

¡Tengo nueva dirección de correo!

This translates to "I have new email address!" Apparently, this spammer is trying to steal business from a better scammer.
