Be Careful What You Wish For rerun: A while ago this column requested that readers send in their unexpected, interesting beach finds. The first submission is a lulu.

“We have been picking up trash on the north end of Cannon Beach for many years, but this is our most unusual  find,” Cannon Beach residents Rex and Diane Amos wrote. “On Feb. 22, Diane spotted a heap of pink plastic near the mouth of Ecola Creek. When she propped it up to see what it was, Rex took this photo.”

“We took her home and tried to blow her up,” the couple added, “but she had sprung a leak.” (In One Ear, 5/16/2019)
