As we in Dodgeville discovered when afootloose kangaroo turned up in our midst.Now, kangaroo sightings are to Wisconsin what sightings of Bigfoot are to the Pacific Northwest: more likely tobe reported than confirmed. Back in the 1970s, there was a spate of sightings around the Milwaukee suburb ofWauwatosa. And another rash a few years earlier in Menomonee Falls.And so, on the morning of January 5, when a longtime resident called into our local sheriff’s office to report akangaroo on the loose on her property, Sheriff Steve Michek had the predictable reaction: “There’s gotta be a simpleexplanation.”The day of the sighting, a snowfall expected to reach seven-to-nine inches had begun descending overDodgeville. Sheriff Steve got his first glimpse of the creature through a swirl of dancing snowflakes. There hestood—big as life—with a fluffy cap of the white stuff improbably dusting his back and shoulders.Sheriff Steve says his own reaction could be summed up in two words: “Holy smoke!” Except, he says withembarrassment, he didn’t say the word “smoke.”Once backup arrived, Steve and the deputies sprang into action. Sheriff Steve: “We formed a perimeter.” With alittle bit of coaxing (and a bribe of apples), the renegade was lured into a barn on the property and quietly settleddown in a tidy box stall.Officials from the Henry Vilas Zoo in nearby Madison were contacted and the fugitive taken into custody. Thezoo folks have since speculated that our unlikely visitor is most likely somebody’s rogue exotic pet.That would, after all, be the simple explanation.Which brings us round to the moral of our story: next time you discover some curious critter tracks outside yourgarden window—don’t rule out the zebras.Or the kangaroos.

The constant emphasis is on thenow, the new, the fashionable, the thing of the moment, what is happening right now, what is hot, and what is not,where it is at, the immediate experience. What is current and hyped is what is real. 22 In a phony culture, notonly do people have no sense of place, they also have no sense of time. Time and the sense of temporality—memoryand projection—lose importance. The narrow focus on “now” reinforces the ascendancy of the ephemeral: what ishappening now is what is real and important. 23 Everything becomes unmemorable and quite forgettable justbecause it is old and passing out of the new immediate moment. The new is always something that can be hyped: the nextexperience, thing, or personage is given allure and thus desirability. One is hopelessly “out of date” if he or she does notyearn for the newest. All things old—cars, clothes, presidents, spouses—are potential throwaways. 24 Withouteither a sense of history or a coherent view of the future, people are easily lured to the phony object of the moment,drawing attention towards the plaything of the now but diverting attention from a larger view of the temporal worldwhich invites self-placement. 25 News is hyped “new” information that is sold like any other hot commodity,and there truly is nothing as old as yesterday’s news.
