She crashes through the virgin forest, lays open a rotting stump with one blow of her mighty paw, and feasts on the pale grubs. Then lifts her heavy head and studies the forest canopy with dark, unreadable eyes.
A Shelley Jackson at the peak of her powers is an unforgettable sight. Her baying carries for miles, and even faraway creatures grow uneasy at their meals of cress and frogspawn and slink into the underbrush. She has no predator but man.
But what is this? A quiet chirping begins stitching up the ruptured afternoon. Who is the daring tunesmith? Look down, below the awesome paw, the claws stained with unnameable substances, below fallen twig and leaf, to a small chitinous individual, rubbing her musical legs together with a secretive smile. This too is Shelley Jackson.
Lo! A quick flash of wings overhead, an uncouth cry. Shelley Jackson!
And this lichen, and this slick of slime on the bark of a rotten tree, and this substance on my shoe, which I will submit to the brush and polish when I get home? Is this also Shelley Jackson?
No.
Is it?
No.
But how can we tell?

Bakersfield's Shelley Jackson was the key for the Drillers offensively. Jackson was 2-for-2 with two doubles and both runs scored. The first run came when Jackson led off the third inning with a single up the middle. While trying to advance Jackson to second on a bunt, Joslyn Chvala reached first on an error, and Cristine Medina successfully moved the runners to second and third with a bunt. Blair Groefsema's line drive single to left brought Jackson home and gave the Drillers a 1-0 lead. Two innings later, Jackson sent a one-out single to left field and advanced to third on a wild pitch and a passed ball while Chvala struck out. A ground ball by Medina would have ended the inning, but Ridgeview shortstop Karrie Whitton couldn't come up with the ball and the run scored.
Shelley Jackson, an assistant manager at Target, said the tax hiatus has a genuine holiday ring. "It's a little like Christmas in here," she said. "We

People are buying clothes and shoes for them
selves and back-to-school stuff for their kids. It's
really a family atmosphere. When you include items that have been marked
for clearance, it makes it a real nice savings. This is
a great idea. I hope we continue to have it."

The high temperature of the washing will kill any bacteria and give you a sterilized toothbrush.

Unfortunately, no survey of Shelley Jacksons would be complete that did not take on the vexing "Shelly" question. Some Shelly Jacksons are in fact, me.
