It’s not every day that a daily stroll along Lake Superior turns crime discovery, but for  Melismatics guitarist PONY, just that may have occurred.  In a March 18  blog post on the band’s myspace site, the series of events was unfolded.  While on a sojourn in Marquette, MI, PONY decided to take a breather from the craziness of life on the road, and ventured near the chilly shore of Lake Superior.  Here’s the blog post in its entirety.

While in Marquette, MI for two shows, Pony was walking by Lake Superior looking for rocks today. She came across what looked like a leg bone, and a foot away found part of a spine. As she continued to look through the forested area she found more and more bones. A runner that was passing by came down to help her look at the remains and suggested she call the police.

Pony immediately dialed the fuzz, and then called Ryan and tour manager
Cecilia who came down to meet her. The police are investigating the matter and have detectives on the case. Pony said she won’t be able to eat for some time and is shaken up.

Wowee! (The Melismatics Blog)

Hopefully PONY has regained her appetite and overcome the shock of a potentially grisly discovery.  But I reckon even if she was having difficulty recovering, the latest information on the matter probably had her rolling on the floor with laughter, recovering as she roared.  (I certainly had my fill.)  What was this latest piece of information, you ask?  Nothing other than the local Marquette City Police logs from that very day.  Here’s how it read:

It’s good to know those Marquette City Police officers are keeping busy, you know, with all those dead skunks, unleashed dogs, and people swirling about, unhappy with their trimmed hedges.

Does this suggest that the police do the hedge trimming in Marquette?
